In the mid-1800s, a quaint fishing village, called Nauvoo at the time, was the largest fishery on the New Jersey seacoast. By the end of the 19th century, this fishing village had grown into the flourishing seaside resort of Sea Bright. Luxurious hotels like the Normandie-by-the-Sea, Sea Bright Inn, and the Octagon House were built, transforming the town into a haven for the wealthy, who built elegant cottages along its coast. The famous Pannaci Hotel and Restaurant became known as the "Delmonico of Sea Bright." Today Sea Bright continues to draw vacationers and residents alike with its glistening water and beautiful sandy beaches.

Sea Bright, New Jersey (Images of America Series)
Looking for an uncritical celebration of urban renewal? Here it is! The author seems to blindly accept the University's claims that buildings it wants to get rid of are "blighted," or that poor people are being kicked out of Hyde Park to decrease crime, or that breaking up a single-family house into multiple units is per se bad.
Okay, I got the book for the pictures. But even the pictures disappoint. They're black and white and details are often hard to discern. And seeing old house after old house, with few notes on architecture, quickly gets boring. The book would have been better to include some of the details that truly give neighborhoods their character, like murals, signs, monuments, businesses, or anything that shows how the land is used, a la Camilo Jose Vergara. And there is very little about the present-day structure of Hyde Park. Not worth reading.
