I loved the book from the very first page. I have sat for hours looking at the different postcards and reading the personal messages that were written on the backs of them. Every message in some way touches your heart. The books layout is simple to view but at the same time creative and catches and keeps your attention. It is a great coffee table book and I would highly recommend it. The author, Mr. Dixon is certainly very talented and was really able to capture the deep feelings people had of the seashore.
Editorial Review:
You love the beach. You always have. You share that with millions who went before you. You'll pass it on to those that come after. Through an image scrapbook of over 480 vintage postcards from the early 1900s into the 1960s, join the masses who first sought recreation and retreat along the coastal waters of Delaware and Maryland. Whether Ocean City, Rehobeth, St. Augustine, Bower's, Lewes or Bethany beaches, people fell in love and made their way back again and again. Be it the sun caressing the horizon at daybreak in Bethany, going barefoot in the hot afternoon sand at Rehoboth, or strolling the moonlit beach to the rhythmic sound of the Ocean City surf, the mystical allure of the coast outlives us all.
