SINCE BORDERS LEFT TOWN A FEW MONTHS AGO, I HAVE TO RELY ON AMAZON.COM TO BROWSE FOR BOOKS ABOUT LONG ISLAND.
LAST WEEK I FOUND TWO PRICED AT $30 FOR THE PAIR WHICH ALSO GOT ME FREE SHIPPING.
THE FIRST BOOK MIGHT BE OF GENERAL INTEREST TO MANY OF YOU THAT ENJOY NASSAU & SUFFOLK HISTORY.
TITLE: LONG ISLAND: YESTERDAY & TODAY C. 2010 BY GARY W. WOJTAS
HARDCOVER W/JACKET SIZE: 11" X 10" 192 PAGES. HONEST RATING: B+ (8.8 OUT OF 10) AMAZON PRICE $10
NICE BOOK LOADED WITH PICTURES, EASY TO UNDERSTAND CAPTIONS AND LOTS OF HISTORY COVERING THE GOLD COAST, THE NORTH SHORE, THE SOUTH SHORE, THE NORTH FORK, THE SOUTH FORK AND MID-ISLAND.
LOOKS AT MOST OF THE LARGER WELL NOTED TOWNS AND THEIR RICH ROOTS OF L.I. HISTORY.

THE SECOND BOOK IS ABOUT THE EAST END AND MAY NOT BE OF INTEREST TO MOST.
TITLE: PORTRAIT OF LONG ISLAND: THE NORTH FORK AND THE HAMPTONS. C. 2011 BY: JAKE RAJS
HARDCOVER W/JACKET SIZE: 9" X 7" 240 PAGES. HONEST RATING: B- (8.3 OUT OF 10) AMAZON PRICE $20
THE TITLE PRETTY MUCH SAYS WHAT THIS BOOK COVERS, WHICH IS MOSTLY JUST REALLY NICE SHOTS OF THE EAST END EACH NOTED WITH SIMPLE LOCATIONS. NO HISTORY HERE, JUST SIGHTS.
