5.0 out of 5 stars Whether to whet your appetite for a first-time visit, or as a pictoral memento of a beautiful little town, this book delivers., June 23, 2008

Spectacular photography and a friendly, easy-to-read style make this selection a great choice. As a frequent visitor to Cape May in the past, I have seen most of the sites pictured and described, but there are a few that I'll have to seek out on my next visit. For me, the book is a great memento of a place where I have many fond memories. I wish it had been available 20 years or so ago in time for my first visit! It is a great guide to introduce a first-timer to a fascinating town, and a tool for a seasoned visitor to focus on a little more detail of the unique surroundings. The pictures will keep the visit fresh in your memory. Nicely done!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Gift Idea; A true visual exploration, April 23, 2008

By	S. Prokopowicz "Michele P" (Philly Burbs, PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As the author I admit, I have bias. However, I want to talk about the photographs. The photographers did an incredibly wonderful job in not only capturing views but capturing the essence of Cape May.
If you look at the cover, the main shot which is the sunset, is really what it looks like. It's an expansive and endless scope of color that is deep and strong.

I enjoyed researching and writing about Cape May, and the book is really a great way to experience this historic beach city either from your living room or from the streets of Cape May as you walk the tours.
All of the tours are "mini" tours so it doesn't feel like a kids field trip; and it is easy on the legs while embracing the visuals and history.

You really should visit Cape May, New Jersey. It is more than a beach or city, it is an experience.
