Marsha Cudworth has written a most useful and usable guide to the architecture of Cape May, NJ. Cape May, a National Historic Landmark, lays claim to being America's oldest extant seaside resort. It certainly is one of the loveliest and Ms. Cudworth's book shows why in a series of easy-to-use walking and driving tours.

Especially useful are pen and ink drawings of outstanding structures in this remarkably well-preserved and carefully restored slice of Victoriana-by-the-sea. Many of the drawings are taken from the beautifully-rendered Historic American Buildings Survey of Cape May. Others come from the author's own hands.

This slender volume is neither a full-scale history of Cape May nor a scholarly discussion of the town's architects and builders (for that, one should consult Emil Salvini's "Cape May: Summer City by the Sea" and Thomas & Doebley's "Cape May: Queen of the Seaside Resorts").

But for a lovingly written and charmingly illustrated traveler's companion, this small book is just about perfect. It is a model of the sort of well-researched yet non-academic guidebook which enhances the appreciation of our nation's historic districts for tourists, newcomers, and long-term residents alike.

I've been buying this book for years and it is still the best guide to all the strip clubs and porn shops in New York. I like that they cover the whole city, not just Manhattan like most guides.

For an urban dweller, this handy little book provides a great insight into beautiful rural areas. Without the book's guidance, I never would have thought to go bicycling in Eagles Mere, Wellsboro, or Thompsontown, but each ride proved delightful. The directions are excellent, and the writer gives a nice little insight into each place that he describes. Pennsylvania has many wonderful places to ride, and this book will take you to many of them.

Absolutely beautiful book wonderfully written and put together! Do not hesitate a moment to buy this! I've spent the past 3+ years constantly looking at this book (Plus its companion book) and I do not grow tired of it! It is pure bliss sometimes to look through it!

This book is the only one you ever need. It has descriptions of the resorts, directions, and surrounding area activities. I keep this book in one of my ski boots so I never hit the road without it. This guy really knows exactly what snow affecianiados want to know.

Steve Kahn has captured the essence of SoHO-the old the new, the chic the artsy. His photographics are crisp and inviting, imaginative and creative. I've been to SoHo many times but never viewed it through so many different angles. Bravo, Mr. Kahn. What a marvelous job!

With Disney changing the face of Midtown Manhattan, "Stepping Out" is a wonderful look back at a rich and compelling history of New York City. Mr. Hurewitz's observations will appeal to any lover of New York - straight or gay. His witty prose, unique sense of humor, and detailed maps and photographs will force you to don a pair of comfortable shoes, "grab a cheese sandwich" and take to the streets. If only all travel books could be this good.

When my grandma saw this beautiful book, she wanted to move back to Harrisburg where she was born. I just keep picking this book up and looking some more. The essays and pictures of the Susquehanna River and the towns along it elicit pride and nostalgia for rural/small-town Pennsylvania
