Críticas:

"A lovely book." -- Michael Olesker

"Together, photographs and journal give us a unique glimpse into the summer experience of Ocean City's earliest vacationers. Yet, to an extent, this volume also represents the collective summer experiences of generations of Ocean City vacationers. The mode of travel to the seashore has changed, the town has grown, and shooting of shorebirds from the beaches is a distant memory; but vacationers still come to bathe in the surf, boat, fish, dine in favorite restaurants, and amuse themselves on the boardwalk in the evenings." -- from the Preface
