Mostly chronological-- though not rigidly so -- each chapter, and its title, hold an era and theme that is enhanced by photos and drawings of each period. I found the roles played by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Historic Preservation Commission in Cape May's development and the particulars as fresh info I'd not read about before. I don't mean to make this book sound like just some old stuffy historical account. It's not. What makes this book stand out is its well-blended presentation of details and facts with atmosphere and charm. It makes this reader -- who lives not too far for a single day's excursion -- plan a trip to the southernmost part of NJ and visit HISTORIC CAPE MAY, NEW JERSEY: THE SUMMER CITY by THE SEA.
