Book Description

June 1999
What do salt water taffy, guide dogs for the blind, and golf tees have in common? They all got their start in New Jersey, of course! Now you can learn about the origins of these and hundreds of other products, events, and inventions in this entertaining, informative look at a wide spectrum of "firsts" accomplished by New Jersey residents.

From the development of condensed soup to the first balloon flight, New Jersey Firsts is filled with little-known facts, rare photographs, and fascinating stories that will make you realize just how much we all have to thank New Jersey for!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great gift idea for just about anyone!, August 26, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: New Jersey Firsts: The Famous, Infamous, and Quirky of the Garden State (Paperback)
This is a great little book packed with information that anyone with ties to New Jersey would find interesting. I bought it as a father's day gift. It has a nice blend of information, some of it light and some serious. The photos are fantastic. Some of the entries I was well aware of, but most were news to me. All in all, it is an entertaining book that I think appeals to a very wide audience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Now I Know More, December 16, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: New Jersey Firsts: The Famous, Infamous, and Quirky of the Garden State (Paperback)
I thought I knew alot about by home state until I read the book. What a surprise to learn that I did not know as much as I thought I knew. It is informative without being a drag. Every native of New Jersey and/or resident of the State needs to have a copy of "New Jersey Firsts" in their personal library.
