One of my many current projects is reading the backlog of books I have...maybe 500? Anyway, I bought this book at the Star Island Bookshop years ago. Yes, I do remember the books I bought there, except if they were gifts and even if they don't have that red sticker which used to indicate they've been paid for. This was a complete and utter delight. It focuses on the layers of Odiorne Point in New Hampshire. When the children were young, several times we visited the Seacoast Science Center there and wandered the grounds. I happily call one particular visit when my mother accompanied us. She and her husband, Peter, camped at Shel Al Campground in Hampton all summer. This book gave me a much greater appretiation of the history and the whole park. It was written clearly and interestingly. I felt as if I were accompanying the auhtors on a grand tour and actually meeting former inhabitants. Thank you so much!
