Excellent book, captures the history and quaintness of a Keyport long since past. This little town is currently under a significant revival but the sense of community and the beauty of its shore location have been preserved, spectacular building architecture that is worth a trip to see in person.

Before my sister moved to this small town in Monmouth County, New Jersey, I had never heard of it while growing up in New York City. However, after discovering this book in a local bookstore, I discovered that this town was of some importance to many living in the metropolitan area due to its' seaside retreats, close proximity to Sandy Hook Beach, and the town's many Victorian homes. While Keyport won't stand out among other more popular suburban towns such as Asbury Park, its' charm remains intact. Reading this book gave me a little more background on the town's history and development, and it was interesting to see that many of the sites in the book still remain today.

If you are a native of Monmouth County, or have a friend or relative who lives in the area, then this book will be a great inclusion into your library. The town's historical society as well as the author have done an excellent job covering the history of the town that time and modernism somewhat forgot.
