Very, very well deserved. I love everything about this book. It's not just a story about a store and a company, but of the entire history of urban and suburban department store retail in Jacksonville, full of vivid and personal memories about the downtown stores and observations on downtown renewal plans and projects. It's remarkably thorough yet concise. The photos are great. I can't recommend it highly enough!
Rock on Ennis! Well done. Did you know that Gloria is also being honored for her restoration work. So very proud of you guys. :)
Congratulations Ennis and Gloria. Well deserved.
Wonderful. You two are such great resources for our city. Thank you.
Congratulations, Ennis and Gloria. My wife used to work at May Cohen's so she will love this book.
congrats to Ennis, Gloria, AND Sarah...hopefully I'll be able to stop in at the awards ceremony Thursday night!
Congratulations :)
Congrats Ennis and all. Very enjoyable and informative book.
I remember shopping when it was only "Cohen Bros." in the forties and fifties.
The book was lots of hard work I know. Much time involved. Well done.
Wonderful news! Congrats Ennis, Sarah, and Gloria... More to come I am sure! 8)
Congrats to Ennis and all others involved.
Fantastic idea for a book, and even better execution.
