Enthusiasts of New Jersey's famous Jersey Shore will find a welcome focus on the boardwalks past and present in BOARDWALK MEMORIES: TALES OF THE JERSEY SHORE. For millions of tourists the boardwalk lies at the center of a Jersey vacation memory, so historian Emil Salvini's survey of the history of the boardwalks should hold special appeal to any who have visited the area and retain a fond affection for the area. Chapters detail different boardwalks and are packed with vintage black and white photos from yesteryear. Highly recommended: a lovely reconstruction of Jersey Shore history and culture.

New Jersey Monthly Magazine

 

"...as we gear up for another blissful season of traffic jams, sunburns and sand fleas, it's a good time to read Emil R. Salvini's recent book, "Boardwalk Memories, Tales of the Jersey Shore." "Mr. Salvini is a historian with solid credentials. (He) takes us on a tour of the wooden walks up and down the Shore, from Cape May to Long Branch. There are 174 pages of photographs and prints that complement his tales."
