Customer Reviews

Enjoyable!

This pictorial history by the authors Hayes and Jacob is very well done, and most enjoyable. I reveled in the photos and the brief chapter introductions that tell a lot about the category being discussed.

I remember when

I'm not old enough to remember everything written in Ocean City Volume I, but I do remember a lot of what is in this volume because it starts the historical period from the mid-1950s. I went to OC with my family when I was a kid and would go back in a heartbeat. Nicely done book: good writing, unique photos.

Exciting read

I loved the photos, especially the old ones, and the write-ups underneath them. What a fun book with great photos and informative history.
