Frank Finale's Classic Coffee Table
Book
To The Shore Once More A Portrait of the Jersey Shore Prose and Poetry by Frank Finale• To order, please scroll to the bottom of this page. • Introduction by
Rich Youmans • Foreword by Editor and Publisher
George C. Valente • Reviews: "...this book is more than just a regional bestseller—it's one of the widest circulations of a single author's poetry in America in 1999 and 2000." "...stunningly beautiful tribute to the Jersey Shore...a glorious interpretation...an excellent addition to any library." —David Messineo, Publisher/Executive Editor, Sensations Magazine, Issue 20, "Scenic New Jersey" (June 4, 2000) "One of Finale's remarkable skills is what Youmans calls, 'that rare ability to express sentiment without sentimentality.' Another is his gift for bringing the reader up short with something simple—to quote Youmans again,'by evoking the often-overlooked details of life, he enables others to see a place, no matter how familiar, as if for the first time.'" "'To The Shore Once More' is not just a portrait of the Jersey shore, but a portrait, or at least a sketch, of the Finale family. Many of the stories and poems deal with family life, and I would be surprised if most readers had not become attached to the Finales by the end of the book. It is luxuriously laid out, not just with all the paintings, but with considerably more white space than most of us are used to seeing." —Barbara Westergaard, The Times Of Trenton (December 10, 1999) "...this season's runaway hit gift book,...' "[It] is a must-have for any Jersey Shore lover." —The Times...At The Jersey Shore (December 2, 1999) "A great...gorgeous book...fantastic!...a book for everybody...great stuff of the Jersey Shore...makes an excellent coffee table book. Anybody who lives at the Jersey Shore should have it." —The Morning Show, 94.3 FM, THE POINT (August 3, 1999) "...an absolutely beautiful coffee table book...a truly a fantastic book to put in your home..." —The Early Morning Show, 92.7 FM, WOBM "Finale's work a tribute to Jersey Shore..." "...the book captures the well-loved landmarks of the Jersey Shore—from the Twin Lights of Navesink to the tower of Old Barney—and gracefully includes a host of lesser known treasures as well. Among them, the"Belmar Gazebo" and "Bridge On Shark River, Belmar," both captured in golden light by Theresa Troise Heidel; "Ellen's Dune," by Margaret Tourison Berndt and "Sunset On The Toms River," by Virginia Perle." —Lois M. Rogers, Asbury Park Press “The true beauty and feelings the area elicits are portrayed with unbelievable accuracy...” “One of the most enchanting books ever published about the Jersey Shore, “To The Shore Once More” is guaranteed to become a classic and the first editions will surely become sought after collector's editions” —Jen Murphy, The Coast Star and The Ocean Star “Arranged into sections by the change of seasons, Finale's poetry and prose illuminates the rhythms of the Shore over the course of the year. Finale masterfully captures the ebb and flow of seasonal life here.” “To The Shore Once More” is certain to have its readers return to its pages again and again...” “This is a book that deserves to be displayed, shared with friends and visitors who may see our region only during summer vacations.” —Travis Cunningham, The Shore Herald “Frank Finale is somewhat of a Jersey Shore celebrity.” “...Finale's graceful personal words capture the essence of the Jersey Shore...the book promises to evoke fond memories of much loved Shore spots and lifestyles.” —Melissa Depp, The Ocean County Observer "...intensely personal, warmly reflective, often lyrical... "The art works are allowed their own say, unlike many books where they are there merely to decorate the text. Paula Kolojeski's views of marshes and beaches, Theresa Troise Heidel's magnificent Victorian piles, Margaret Tourison Berndt's swift, racing hulls get full-page treatment in excellent reproductions. There are also Dick LaBonte's playful frolics, Ludlow Thorston's moody dunes, Virginia Perle's evocative waterscapes and Stephen Harrington's meticulous depictions of Old Barney and the Twin Lights of Navesink." —Larry Savadove, co-author of "Great Storms Of The Jersey Shore" (Down The Shore Publishing) in The Sandpaper • $44.00 • Jersey Shore Publications is proud to offer our regional bestseller, To The Shore Once More, a coffee table book of prose, poetry, and works of art about the Jersey Shore.
