Reviews:

"Both volumes are considered by many to be among the best art and literary efforts portraying the Jersey Shore."
The Coast Star and The Ocean Star; May 17 & 18, 2001

"Let others pack their bags, load up the car and set out for a summer road trip underscored by a chorus of toddlers whining, "Are we there yet?" I prefer to find a shady spot on my front porch, curl up with the book, "To The Shore Once More, Volume II"...and let author Frank Finale be my guide to the treasures that lie between Sandy Hook and Cape May."
"The essays reflect the ambiance of all four seasons, capture the essence of past and present day life at the shore, and give the reader insight into the love that holds the Finale family together."
—Diane T. Churchman, The Coast Star and The Ocean Star; May 24 & 25, 2001

"This book gives the reader the feeling of being on a perpetual vacation...at the Jersey shore."
"Volume II is a visual dessert!"
"To The Shore Once More, Volume II" is a journey you will cherish for generations to come."
—Donna Crader, The Times..At The Jersey Shore; May 31, 2001

"To The Shore Once More, Volume II" is possibly even better than the first [volume], with remembrances and anecdotes about sites from the Atlantic Highlands to Cape May, and this time there is a larger inclusion of southern Ocean County spots."
— Linda Reddington, The Times Beacon; June 8, 2001

"...a personal and beautifully designed compilation of work...Finale's book captures the essence of life on the Jersey Shore but it also captures the essence of life. His stories are candid, intimate and nostalgic.
—Meridith Make, Islander; June 29, 2001

"Writer Frank Finale has captured [the] lure and lore of the Jersey Shore in both volumes..."
"Boardwalks and beaches, wetlands and waters, pastoral and public, buildings, people, and animal life, all the special attractions of the Jersey Shore are included."
"Both volumes are verbal and visual celebrations..."
"...very popular as gifts, and as ways of preserving happy memories of the shore."
—R.E. Heinly, Cape May Star and Wave; July 5, 2001

“Alan and I had been out on the water now for more than two hours, and were starting to tire. We began drifting more and more, letting the current propel us. I put my hand back into the water, and for a moment imagined myself connected to the Atlantic Ocean a few miles away. I felt myself sweep past the small beaches along the creek's shore, past the white yachts in the marinas on Barnegat Bay, past the tiny Sedge Islands with their myriad wildlife, and beyond the shoals of the shifting barrier islands, into the open ocean. From the seat of this aluminum canoe, I felt as if I were connected to all the Jersey Shore—to all creation, in fact. I tilted my face toward the sun and smiled.”
— from “Canoeing Down Cedar Creek”

The wind howls, and the sand responds. Everything is in flux. The beach you step on today will not be the same one you step on tomorrow. But you will never know it. Nature repeats itself endlessly, ever changing, ever unchanged.
—from “A Winter's Sketch”

Jersey Shore Publications is pleased to bring you To The Shore Once More, Volume II, the sequel and companion volume to the bestseller, To The Shore Once More.

The essays and poems are organized from north to south taking place in all four seasons in many of the towns and regions along the coast including Highlands, Asbury Park, Ocean Grove, Bradley Beach, Belmar, Spring Lake, Point Pleasant, Seaside, Island Beach, the Toms River area, Bayville, Long Beach Island, the Pine Barrens, Brigantine, Atlantic City, and Cape May.

Also inside, you'll find resplendent, full color paintings of some of the loveliest landmarks and locations at the Jersey Shore. Each have been painted by area artists including Al Barker, Barbara Cocker, Dede Esenlohr, Dennis Foy, Carol Freas, Tine Kirkland Graham, Stephen Harrington, Dawn Hotaling, Paula Kolojeski, Dick LaBonte, Susan Walsh McLean, Sheila Mickle, Sue Oliver, Virginia Perle, Muriel Rogers, Nicholas P. Santoleri, Ludlow Thorston, Margaret Tourison Berndt, Theresa Troise Heidel, and over twenty additional artists.
