The book is described as deeply personal in a way that no professional writing or photography presents.

Pages alternate between natural scenes and urban ventures captured by Perkins and short written entries by Bisztray. The following draws on our conversation and highlights some of the best reasons to explore this latest work. For instance, entries that include the sights and sounds of birds and swishing palm trees. The smells of salt and night-blooming jasmine.

The tastes of fresh seafood and key lime. The textures of sand and bare skin.

After seven years of weekly articles, I transitioned to publishing my own Key West Dining Guide in , which evolved into the Key West Insider Guide.

Plus, as pointed out, the composition of senses adds up to the experience of a place. This is ultimately what you take with you and what you miss and crave. Items were sourced from a combination of popular and off-the-beaten-path eateries and spots. Is that enough palm trees? Is that too many key lime martinis? As a result, there is a sense of preservation and even longing that accompanies these pages.

There is a genuine possibility that the book also serves as an updated and more aesthetic form of documentation. She pinpointed additional references that can no longer be found in real life, such as fish stands in Old Town or a corner grocer with distinct handwritten signs.
