A Must For History Lovers, 2007-09-17
by Mike Crestwood (New York)

Mr. Lloyd's book are well-researched and well written, accompanied by numerous rare photos. I have all of his books and have found them to be both entertaining and informative. They give the reader an in-depth history of Long Beach Island, it's people, their culture and lifestyle, and events which have shaped the island's past and present. Anyone wanting to gain an understanding of the rich history of LBI needs to read this book. Bravo!
