Being originally from West Milford, this book showed me what it was long, LONG before I lived there. A truly interesting book filled with pictures of places I see on a regular basis when I'm home and some places which I will never see.

This is a beautiful book, meticulously researched. It's a must for the lover of local New Jersey histories. The author has provided many scenes and vignettes of this small New Jersey town at the turn of the century, and you can truly see what life was like in a rural NJ town, before urban and suburban sprawl. Truly nicely done!

This book describes favorite off-road trips to the rugged natural beauty of the Las Vegas desert, including the Red Rock Canyon, an idyllic contrast of deep sandstone canyon forests and desert hills in spring bloom. Alas, though much of what is described still exists, the book is nearly thirty years out of date and requires revision. Hey, I can do that! Why? I've lived in the Radiant City for thirty-five of my forty-one years.

I am heartened that this book in the most popular purchase of the Las Vegas purchase circle. It means that those who have moved here truly wish to make Las Vegas home rather than the place they cashed in their Southern Californian real estate chips.
