Reviews
“Finally a book that has all the answers to the questions I've had since moving to North Carolina. It covers a wide range of topics and has so much information—from the state's history to DMV regulations and everything in between. Wish I would have known about this book when I first moved here. I think it's a great book for anyone who is planning on moving to NC or is a newcomer to NC.”
