Here is Long Beach Island in the days of pound fishing and great hotels  but here  too  are individual fishermen showing off their catches and a gaggle of summer waitresses posing for a group picture in their brief spare time. Children of every decade personify summer as they romp on beaches and mess about in boats. Teenagers are teenagers  recognizable at work and play. Houses evolve from simple shanties into Victorian cottages and finally modern structures with walls of glass. But all are home to the families gathered for the camera on porch and dock. The text  drawn from a series of remarkable interviews taped over a ten-year period  combines descriptions of life on the Island with what the Island represents to those who have known it well. This fragile strip of land between bay and ocean captures the imagination today as much as ever  and this loving evocation of its past will delight those who know  and those who have just discovered  this place apart.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45652256292917,"sku":"ByrdShop_1593220219","price":113.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781593220211.jpg?v=1781850353","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/island-album-photographs-memories-of-long-beach-island-9781593220211","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
