From Library Journal
This little gem of a guide presents a selection of 20 day trips through sites from the Campbell Soup Museum in Camden and chic cafes in Hoboken to hikes through South Mountain Reservation and historic house tours in Morris County. The authors cite both famous and offbeat landmarks (from Asbury Park to the Trash Museum), historic trivia, short reviews of restaurants (ice cream to Mexican food), colorful legends (the "Jersey Devil"), scenic routes, antique and book shops, recipes, and more. This is not a dry tourist's guide. Rather, its pages are chocked with wit, humor, and solid research that reveal the hidden personality of the Garden State. Superb maps and nostalgic illustrations round out the fare. For circulating libraries.
