A book to keep or a book to give

I was so delighted with this book, which was a purchase for my library's collection, that I bought another copy for myself! Living on the Chesapeake Bay myself, I am always on the hunt for great books for my personal library. When folks come for a visit, it's nice to have books for them to peruse. This book is a remarkable and timeless work of art as well as a wealth of knowledge! There are, sadly, too many places on the Bay that are gone forever, and many that are almost gone, due to time, tide and weather. This book gives the reader a wonderful history of each island, as well as magnificent photographs, and even GPS locations for each. If you're a Chesapeake Bay boater, you've gotta have this! If you know someone who is, or just someone who enjoys stories of our wonderful treasure of the Chesapeake, this makes a wonderful gift!
