Editorial Reviews

Review
In any profession you can be knocked down to your knees, whether it is in football, as I played, or as a restauranteur as my good friend Cameron. They are both tough, real, and demanding positions and Cameron tells it like it is. --Y.A. Tittle, NFL Hall of Fame Quarterback

This delightful book tells the story of how Cameron's Inn became a Coastside treasure and how Cameron Palmer became and continues to be a Half Moon Bay institution. His family, Lisa and kids, parents and friends all are a tribute to community spirit. --Joe Cotchett, Attorney and Half Moon Bay preservationist

You don't expect to find oases in California, but I did, on S. Cabrillo Hwy, to be precise, in Half Moon Bay. Do what I did, I urge you. Stop; step inside: you' find that you have entered not just a fine roadhouse, but a place that has the stamp of the true entrepreneur all over it. Hey, wait a minute, you don't even have to do that. Before you see for yourslf, read this book. It'll tke you there. --Quintin Jardine, No 1 Best-Selling Scottish Author

Product Description
The book tells the story of how Cameron and family realized his dream of being part of the hospitality business. Cameron's pub became known across the U.S. and Britain when California's impending smoking ban in bars and taverns was to take effect. In 1998 he turned a red double decker bus into a smoking bus. His unique solution to keeping smoking clients happy went across the press wires and landed the story on the front pages of the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, and the San Francisco Chronicle, among others. Cameron's is illustrated with photos of events, people, and incidences during the colorful development of the pub.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a delightful story!, November 5, 2006
Being English myself and having visited Camerons on numerous occasions, I would never had known of it's wonderful history and hilarious, and sometimes not, revelations, had it not been for this insightful story of the Palmer Family. It is definitely a great read. Congratulations to all! I am sending a copy to to everyone in my family!

5.0 out of 5 stars Inntertaining & Innformative, October 14, 2006
By D. Wong "WongsWay" (Half Moon Bay, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
What impressed me most about the book was how much information was packed into this short biography of Cameron Palmer, the Palmer family, and the history of Cameron's Inn.

This is must reading for anyone interested in becoming a restaurateur, likes to read about family ventures, is an Anglophile, or just anyone who loves reading. There are even plenty of pictures & cartoons inside, for those who don't enjoy reading.

Throughout the humor-filled story, you can learn about some of the landmarks and history of Half Moon Bay and the Coastside community, as well as read about a family that is quite extraordinary, willing to do anything for each other, including....well, I won't say anymore, don't want to give it away.
