Luxist Review And Giveaway: Tropical Homes of The Eastern Caribbean
We love beautiful travel photography books and "Tropical Homes of the Eastern Caribbean" by Ozone Zone Books certainly fits the bill. The hardcover book recently won the Benjamin Franklin Award 2010 from the Independent Book Publishers Association.This bilingual (English and French) book showcases the colorful and rich architecture of the Eastern Caribbean region, taking readers on a virtual adventure through Barbados, Grenada, Bequia, Mustique and St. Lucia. The book covers the full breadth of the architectural experience in the region covering small dwellings in fishing village as well as heritage plantation houses, designer homes and multi-million-dollar mansions and a modern boutique-hotel that defies all standards.
The authors, Derek Galon, experienced art photographer from Europe, and Margaret Gajek, an art historian, researcher and writer, are working on a series of books, of which "Tropical Homes of the Eastern Caribbean" is the first one. The project was born of the authors' passion for fine architecture,nature and for beauty in every form.

My goodness what a beautiful book! Thanks for posting it! The contest is a nice bonus.
Looking at photos of the Caribbean never gets old. The Caribbean has such amazing beauty, color, and style with graceful simplicity. I have only been to one island so far but I dream of seeing them all. Every island is so different and unique. The preview photos of this book have such stunning detail its so pleasing to look at, I wish I could see all the pages right now! It’s impossible not to smile looking at the photos while dreaming of being there just for a moment of stillness and calm. The colors are so bright, that could explain why people from the Caribbean seem a little more cheerful than others. I can see why the book has won an award; you can definitely feel the art photography background of the photographer when looking at the photos, they almost look like paintings. Please post an update when they release more books in the series. This is definitely going on my birthday wish list.
