A great book if you would like to take a "spring" vacation. The history is excellent but the location and description of each spring is worth the price.

I'm sure Mr. Stamm is a wonderful individual. I feel this needs to be said because it seems that many people take any criticism on an author's work as a personal attack on said author. So, with that out of the way: this book was not for me. I've had it one night and already wish I wouldn't have bought it. It is outdated, poorly put together and incomplete. Stamm includes no additional info on many of the springs he maps. Overall, this book is very frustrating. If you're simply looking for an introduction in to the mere existence of Florida springs, then perhaps this book will be useful. Even then, you can read the book in a single evening and be ready for more by the next morning. Check this book out at the library if you must. However, if you're looking for a detailed guide to the many springs of Florida as a reference with which to plan outings and explorations, keep looking. This book doesn't cut it.
 Great book.... December 4, 2003

Ever since I was a kid, the springs of Florida have fascinated me. I knew I wanted to get my scuba certification so I could dive them. I have dove many of these springs listed in this book, and I must say, the information is right on the money. If you are looking for a comprehensive dive guide, you are not going to find it in this book. What you will find is beautiful photographs of the native flora and fana of a spring, like plants, fish, reptiles, mammals (like the manatee)etc.... All in all, Mr. Stamm has given us a great book about the glorious, beautiful, and magical elude of Florids's fresh water springs. I highly recommend it....

This book was photographed and written for the diver and spring side visitor who wants to know more about the springs environment. It is not a dive location guide, but a guide to the inhabitants and forces that make the springs of Florida a unique ecosystem in our world. They are beautiful places and inhabited by a variety of creatures. This book was made for divers and visitors who want to know more about what they see.
