I'm considering going to Georgia/Alabama/Mississippi/Tennessee. I always like to have a guide book with me for easy perusal, but there doesn't seem to be any for the deep south. Lonely Planet has one, but it hasn't been updated since 2001. Other than that there are only books about Florida and New Orleans.

I guess I don't really have a question, but how in the hell are there not any books for these places? They do get SOME tourists, right?

As far as the Tennessee/North Carolina area the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is the most visited in the United States (and very beautiful) so there's gotta some be books for that. Not sure how much info they would have on the surrounding areas but I bet a book on Nashville would help.

I've lived in GA all my life and if you like hiking/backpacking I can say that the N GA mountains are very very pretty and surprisingly rugged in some areas what with those ancient Appalachians and all. There are some really pretty rivers (the Conasauga comes to mind) and waterfalls (Jacks River, Panther Creek Falls). I backpack up there a lot and those destinations are fairly accessible for a day hike.
