Picture the "Whaling City" in the days of Melville's Moby Dick, busy streets lined with shops and counting houses; docks bursting with the activities of whalers. New Bedford is the setting and Not Just Anywhere is the triumphant story of the preservation of this rich slice of New England history. 
Fascinating reading for anyone interested in historic preservation, architecture, urban studies, or regional history, Not Just Anywhere looks at one of the most challenging restoration projects ever attempted in New England - the creation of a living, working museum in our city streets. Readers will learn how individuals and an organization called WHALE banded together during the onslaught of urban renewal and inner city demolition, to stop the bulldozers and preserve a city's unique architectural history.

The first book in our Heritage Farm Cookbook Series, Out of the Earth celebrates the region's rich agricultural heritage and unique food products. The book collects recipes drawn from native harvests, examines the culinary and farming history of the area, and explains the need to preserve farming enterprises along the "heritage farm coast." Each chapter brings to the table foods that are locally produced, using diverse original recipes, either handed down through generations, or developed by today's imaginative chefs. The preservation of the area's strong history as the cradle of American cooking, and its recent resurgence of successful, unique and quality farms are two outstanding reasons why Out of the Earth is vital to our region. It will enhance appreciation for our farmland and locally grown products, while nourishing the souls of those who enjoy the recipes.

A Picture Postcard History of Fairhaven is a pictorial treat serving up more than 200 favorite postcards drawn from the collections of The Postcard Collaborators of Fairhaven. Many of the postcards are one-of-a-kind photographs produced in the darkroom; others are popular views issued by postcard publishers. Together they comprise a medley of people, places, and events that paint a broad stroke of New England history. 
In this high-quality, large-format book, postcards are reprinted in original size, in color and black &amp; white, with several selected crossover enlargements. The collection is accompanied by text and captions that tell the history of the town from colonial settlements and American Revolutionary War battles, to the growth of business, industry and neighborhoods. There is a chapter devoted to the legacy of projects created by Henry Huttleston Rogers; and another showing the many incarnations of Fort Phoenix and its surrounding grounds. Fairhven's proud seafaring heritage is duly noted with pictures and stories about her fishing industry, shipyards, wharves and bridges. You'll find harbor views, churches, schools, trains, trolleys, hurricanes and summer colonies. Stroll along her shady streets. Visit her beaches, monuments and pavilions. Marvel at her quaint historic homes and architectural splendor. Enjoy the picture postcard town of Fairhaven, Massachusetts.
