Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
This volume combines Garland's Boston's Gold Coast (1981) and Boston's North Shore (1978), both of which focus on the Boston upper crust who schmoozed and boozed in beach communities equivalent to the Hamptons. Though the set is perhaps of more interest to those already familiar with the area, LJ's reviewer nonetheless found of North Shore that "Garland provides a well-written account"

4.0 out of 5 stars
Fascinating history and wonderful pictures,
By A Customer
This review is from: The North Shore (Hardcover)
Recalls the era of grand hotels and processions from Boston to the country shore during the 19th and 20th century when gentlemen and ladies paraded according to a strict code of social behavior. Wonderful photos of bygone places and memories of now suburban places which once were bucolic and a time when life seemed easier and gentler--especially if you were rich enough to enjoy it and not on the 'serving end.'
