Now I Know More

I thought I knew alot about by home state until I read the book. What a surprise to learn that I did not know as much as I thought I knew. It is informative without being a drag. Every native of New Jersey and/or resident of the State needs to have a copy of "New Jersey Firsts" in their personal library.

Great gift idea for just about anyone!

This is a great little book packed with information that anyone with ties to New Jersey would find interesting. I bought it as a father's day gift. It has a nice blend of information, some of it light and some serious. The photos are fantastic. Some of the entries I was well aware of, but most were news to me. All in all, it is an entertaining book that I think appeals to a very wide audience.
