I bought this book initially because I grew up in Cape May. Am I glad I did. Not only is Ms. Kelly true to the Locale,I was pleasently suprised at the great mystery novel I landed on as well. Meg Daniels has become one of my favoite characters. Very sharp, witty, Combined smarty pants, with humor and morality, I look forward to reading the rest of Ms. Kellys offerings.A book chock full of great characters with excellent dialogue. This Travis McGee and Matthew Scudder fan has discovered another favorite. Read this book, You won't regret it.

Cape Mayhem is a terrific read. The quirky characters, the detailed Cape May setting and the unexpected plot twists keep you well engrossed. A great gift for shore lovers.

Very quick and witty dialogue from memorable characters--with all of the twists and turns you would expect from a well-crafted mystery novel. A highly recommended, fun read!

Sue Carroll is a genius! Relatively minor effort with many of these recipes results in rave reviews from friends, family and co-workers. Move over Martha!

After going to tea at The Four Seasons I just had to have a cookbook to plan my own tea. Wonderful recipes, great tea sandwhiches, Yummy breads. A must have!

I am an innkeeper myself and it is sometimes difficult to find new recipes that are easy to make and delicious to eat. The recipes in Sue's book are both. Some of them have become "regulars" at our morning and tea tables.

THIS BOOK IS GREAT FOR ANYONE WHO ONLY THINKS OF CAPE MAY AS A SUMMER TOWN. THE MANY BEAUTIFUL PICTURES WILL SHOW JUST HOW WONDERFUL THIS BEAUTIFUL TOWN IS ALL THE TIME. MY ONLY WORRY IS THAT EVEN MORE PEOPLE WILL BE HERE AFTER SEEING THE TOWN IN ALL SEASONS.

I was so pleased after I read the book. I am a big fan of Cape May and I try and go often during the summer. After reading the book, I'll be visiting every season!

Cape May is a beautiful town in New Jersey that my family and I visit every summer. Every time I leave, I wish I could take a piece of Cape May home with me. Now that I have Mary McCarthy's book, I can visit as often as I like. The book really does capture the essence of Cape May. I highly reccommend buying the book.

I found The Summer City by the Sea to be a truly fascinating account of Cape May. Mr. Salvini has truly mastered the craft of writing a historical book that holds your attention. After reading this book I bought a house in Cape May, so hats off to you Emil Salvini, best investment I ever made!

The Summer City by the Sea is a truly outstanding book. Salvini takes us on a journey that is both interesting and entertaining. Whether a resident or vacationer this book is sure to pull you into the incredible history of this elegant city. The illustrations, photographs, and text come together in a charming fashion. A perfect book to read on a cool summer day.

An illustrated celebration of the birth, demise, and resurrection of the nations's oldest seaside resort. Emil Salvini leads the reader through the Cape's two hundred tumultous years, which have forever earned it the moniker "Queen of the Seaside Resorts."

I love the way this book is organized. Rather than describe a series of hiking opportunities in New Jersey, the authors carefully culled through hundreds of trails and picked out the most exciting hikes in the state. They even patched together multiple trails in within most parks so you would get the best bang out of the time invested. The descriptions are accurate and fun to read. I tried three of them so far and look forward to doing the other 47.

In the first weeks of owning the book, I have done 3 of the hikes so far, Governor's Mtn, Manor circular, and Carris Hill, although I was already familiar with the parking lots, trailheads through many years mtn biking and hiking in the area, I found the descriptions to be top notch and accurate. Using those descriptions and a simple NYNJTC topo map (with GPS coordinates!) navigation is a snap. GPS is practically unnecessary since most of the trails are well marked. Even though I have only done three of the trips in there, I am very familiar with most of the places mentioned there, the Palisades, Wawayanda, Jockey Hollow, etc. as I've hiked or biked there before I got this book. The book is an excellent day trip for the beginner to intermediate day tripper, fits nicely even in small camelback type devices. My only wish is they included the trail blaze color in the maps they provide, makes for faster quick reference when hiking.

This is a great book for believers! Historical Cape May is made frightful. The tour is Eileen's Ghost Tour. I know because I work for her in Strasburg, PA for the Ghost Tour of Lancaster County. If you like this book, read the Pennsylvania Dutch one. It's excellent and that's where we get our stories from also!

After we went on Elaine's Haunted Mansion Tour, in Cape May, NJ, we got Cape May Ghost Stories. It's true, and believe me, all of this stuff is true, not made up fiction. We learned about Bridget, who is spending her afterlife in the Bed And Breakfast which was across the street from us. The writers/researchers are very good and if you enjoyed this too, there is Cape May Ghost Stories . . . Book Two!

Great photos, attention to detail with resolution and content is suberb. Cape May is beautiful and this calendar shows that beauty very clearly.

The Cape May Calendar of 2002 is a visual feast of Victorian Cape May, New Jersey. Architecture only seen in Cape May, New Jersey make this calendar a collector's "treasure" of a by-gone era.

The photographs are of the highest quailty and resolution. If you imagine the history of this Victorian resort town could ever be represented in print, then this calendar delivers! I could almost smell the sea breeze and hear the waves washing up on shore as I reviewed month after glorious month.

Finally, a true depiction of Cape May, New Jersey is caught on a medium that can often disappoint a buyer of artistic calendars. I anxiously await the 2003 calendar and the beauty it depicts of our nation's first "Resort."

This is another in the American Girls Short Stories series about Addy Walker, a ten-year-old African-American girl living in the America of 1865. Addy gets a surprise when the railway company her father works for gives her family passes so that they can visit him in Cape Island, New Jersey. The experience begins to sour, though, as Addy finds herself confronted on every side by racism. When a little white girl pours abuse on Addy, she wishes her ill from the bottom of her heart, but later she sees the other girl's impoverished life, and begins to feel different.

The final chapter of this book has an interesting look at Cape Island (later Cape May), New Jersey, and some fun and easy directions for making your own vanilla ice cream! As with all of Connie Porter's Addy books, this one is great! The author successful shows the pain and hurt of racism, but succeeds in turning it into an upbeat and hopeful story. My twelve-year-old daughter loves her Addy doll, and loves this book. We both recommend the book to you very highly!
