Essential Cape Cod Reading November 26, 2007
R. Houston
Sandy Macfarlane's book is a great read that gives insight into the unique features of life on the lower end of Cape Cod. The microcosm of the Pleasant Bay area has many lessons for other environmentally sensistive places as well. See her book on Tiggie as well.
Pleasurable Knowledge November 20, 2007
K. Willard (Vernon, ct USA)
This book was a pleasure to read! It presented a lot of information
and knowledge, but was never tedious or overbearing. Done almost in
the style of having the author speaking to you, I was amazed at how
much I learned and how much I enjoyed it. Would recommend to anyone
who cares about the sea, the beach, shell fish or Cape Cod.
