This is the ''Down The Shore'' book, from the publisher of the popular Down The Shore Calendars: Fifty-four contributors capture the heart and soul of the Jersey Shore in this extraordinary pictorial hardcover. Evocative seasonal essays by noted writers combine with 332 color photographs to immerse the reader in the quintessential Shore -- from ocean to bay, sand dunes to salt marsh, from boardwalks to amusements and arcades to quiet, natural places. Featuring the work of dozens of exceptional photographers, this large-format book celebrates the entire shore; it evokes a wonderful connection to place that is both personal and shared. From Sandy Hook to Cape May, Four Seasons at the Shore is ''a revelation'' said the Times of Trenton. It is a touchstone for anyone who has ever visited or lived here -- no matter where they live now, or how long it has been since they've had Jersey Shore sand between their toes.

Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
New Jersey's shoreline gets the royal treatment in this robust collection of color photographs. Though heavy on images depicting Long Beach Island and Barnegat Bay, the book does offer images of beaches from Sandy Hook to Absecon, with the majority of the photos showing people fishing, sailing, sunbathing, surfing, eating ice cream and engaging in other beach activities. The book's summer section is a riot of people and color, while winter, spring and fall are more pensive, showing images of abandoned skiffs pulled ashore and Asbury Park's deserted amusement park. The essays-largely personal, though still accessible to the general reader-address the region's wildlife and landscape, the onslaught of part-time residents in July and August, and tasks such as looking for driftwood to make a fall fire and hanging wet beach towels on the clothesline to dry. Quotes from Bruce Springsteen songs and Walt Whitman poems complete this handsome volume.

A compelling coffee-table book. --The New York Times
Almost every photo seems to touch a chord.... If you won t make it to the Shore this summer, this handsome volume may be the next best thing to being there. --The (Bergen) Record
A visual smorgasbord... substantial and handsome. Should you acquire this well-wrought work of art, a word of caution: By no means consider lending it to anyone; it will not find its way back to you!

I am a proud Jersey Girl, and I have been going "down the shore" every summer since I was a small child. This books wondefully captures the very essence of the shore...all of the things that make it unique; all of the things that make it beautiful; all of the reasons why it is so magical. This is a fantasic book--with unbeatable pictures of the best place on Earth! The essays and quotes that are included also add to the experience. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves the Jersey Shore! It is a little expensive, but worth every penny!
