The fellow above didn't read a book description, bought a book, realized it wasn't the book he thought it was, and then gave it a bum review? Neither the title nor the description are deceptive. Seems to me the problem described by the previous review stems not from the book or its description. Did you not know that Mississippi is a state as well as a river? This is a very well written book and covers the streams, rivers, estuaries, and lakes in MISSISSIPPI (THE STATE) in a knowledgeable and informative manner.
