Book Reviews of The Lost Hamptons (NY) (Postcard History Series)
Book Review: A Perfect Reference Guide for Travelers
Summary: 5 Stars
My family and are planning a vacation to visit the Hamptons area later this summer. I picked this book up with the hope that it would give us a good basic historical overview about the area. It turns out this book is so much more than a standard history. The vintage photos that were collected for this book are so vivid they literally reach out and "touch" you and send your mind reeling backwards in time - a time that is seemingly "lost" as the author refers to in the title of the book.This book will now be a companion guide for me and my family during our trip. We plan to seek out as many of the places pictured in the book and find out what they look like now so we can build a "before and after" album of our trip.
Summary of The Lost Hamptons (NY) (Postcard History Series)
This collection of vintage postcards portrays the quiet villages, white sand beaches, historic homes, and privet-lined lanes that are the essence of Long Island's Hamptons. Stunning in their color, detail, and composition, these cards-originally photographs-depict a place and a way of life that has all but disappeared. Filled with the high drama of celebrity, the glorious architecture of the time, and the quiet splendor of the East End's landscapes and seascapes, The Lost Hamptons brings back the experience of a world all but swallowed by the march of time.State & Local Books
