The Long Beach Island Reader

December 23, 2021 By

$17.00

Edited by Margaret Thomas Buchholz:  For half a century, one Island publication, The Beachcomber, featured literary stories, observations, and essays that captured the essence of this Jersey Shore sandbar.  More than 60 of these stories, from the 1930s to the beginning of the 21st century have been selected for inclusion in this anthology.  From sailing to fishing to surfing; storms and beachcombings; natural history and environment; childhoods at the beach; beach parties and summer jobs; and blown-up beached whale and shark attacks; you will enjoy all of the stories.
