Latest news from The Cottages of Lake Worth: "We're moving closer to print every day."

It's true. You can still pre-order the The Cottages book and save $5 (details below). Confirmed that information yesterday. This hardcover book would make for a wonderful Christmas gift. On the heels of news about our Gulfstream Hotel redevelopment moving forward the history of Lake Worth, a long one, will be getting much more attention far and wide.

As much as this book celebrates the present, it's also a tribute to the pioneers who settled here over one hundred years ago and had a vision: A City platted with tidy square blocks with little houses up and down the street each with their own unique personality:

*Publishing definition of the term dummy book: "Sample of a book usually bound with the title page and a few pages of text, and occasionally a representative illustration, with the rest of the pages blank, created in order to demonstrate what the finished book would look like."
