Viewing this book was a heart-warming experience, liked being curled up around the warmth of a fireplace with favorite friends and family looking through old photo albums! An honest, reflective, dignified, historial walk down Middlesex's memory lane from its early days with its spacious farmland to the bustling town it is today. "Middlesex Borough-Images of America" makes you smile with every page you turn. Through the strength and support of small business, strong religious and educational values, growing families, and civic mindedness, Middlesex established itself as a stable borough with a solid future. It's a perfect gift to give or to treasure yourself.

I was born and raised in Middlesex N.J.in a house built by my grandfather many years ago, so I was thrilled to read this book. Whenever I travel back to Middlesex I visit my old house and neighborhood, as a matter of fact, the Lincoln statue on Mountain Avenue was just two blocks from home. Each page is like a memory revisited, as I viewed the photos I was surprised and excited to see a photo of my Dad who was a member of the Middlesex Special Police Force. Many of the places and faces are a part of my past. I understand that a second edition is in the works and I have many photos to share.
I have purchased copies for my children and grandchildren.......as a part of my past, it is also theirs to enjoy, and I highly recommend anyone who has ever lived in Middlesex Borough to put this book on their "wish list".
