"In
Point Pleasant Volume II, historian Jerry Woolley continues the
detailed look at Point Pleasant, Point Pleasant Beach, and Bay Head
that he began in his wildly successful Volume I. While
still maintaining a historical perspective, Woolley has also included
more recent photographs to give us a more contemporary view of the
area.
Bounded by the Manasquan River on the north, the
Atlantic Ocean on the east, and Barnegat Bay and Beaver Dam Creek to
the south, Point Pleasant's uniquely aquatic environment has long been
one of the area's major attractions. Woolley provides the reader
with an intriguing look at the many waterfront faces of Point
Pleasant.
Drawn extensively from Jerry Woolley's archive of
over a thousand historic photographs of the Point Pleasant area, many
images in Volume II have never before been published.
These pictures, together with the accompanying text, provide the
reader with a fascinating and insightful look into the past that will
appeal both the lifelong resident and the first-time visitor."
This book was published in 1997 and is now out of
print. Used copies can sometimes be found on the Internet or at
used book dealers.
