This is the ''Down The Shore'' book, from the publisher of the popular Down The Shore Calendars: Fifty-four contributors capture the heart and soul of the Jersey Shore in this extraordinary pictorial hardcover. Evocative seasonal essays by noted writers combine with 332 color photographs to immerse the reader in the quintessential Shore -- from ocean to bay, sand dunes to salt marsh, from boardwalks to amusements and arcades to quiet, natural places. Featuring the work of dozens of exceptional photographers, this large-format book celebrates the entire shore; it evokes a wonderful connection to place that is both personal and shared. From Sandy Hook to Cape May, Four Seasons at the Shore is ''a revelation'' said the Times of Trenton. It is a touchstone for anyone who has ever visited or lived here -- no matter where they live now, or how long it has been since they've had Jersey Shore sand between their toes.

Beach Wisdom evokes the fun, the magic, and deep sense of calm we feel when we're lucky enough to spend a day by the water.
