Ocean City, Vol. 1 (Images of America: Maryland)

We absolutely loved Ocean City Vol. 1. We received Ocean City Vol. 2 as a Christmas present and couldn't wait to read and enjoy Vol. 1 even though we read them backwards. We have been travelling to Ocean City most of our lives and have wonderful memories. My maiden name was Dashiell whose family owned one of the original hotels before my father was born. I remember him speaking of the ownership and was horribly disappointed when he learned his family was somewhat shortsighted and had practically given the property away. I think Ocean City, Maryland is part of my DNA and wish we could visit more often even during less than perfect beach weather. I think anyone who has virtually any interest in history and enjoys the beach would enjoy reminiscing through reading the book.

Every Christmas I buy my Dad 2 of these books. He loves them!!!! I started with the community he grew up in (Sparrows Point)and have expanded across the state of MD. Not only does he remember some of the stuff from when he was a kid, but he has also seen some of his teachers and his parents friends in the books. It has made a GREAT gift!

Love reading and learning things about the beginning of Ocean City Maryland that just aren't talked about or remembeted

I enjoyed the pictures and captions. I wish there were more maps to gain a geographical perspective of these landmarks.

My son-in-law grew up going to Ocean City in his childhood. I gave his this book for a Christmas gift and he loved it. It is full of facts, information and many great pictures. Great book!

Thanks!

It is really neat to see how it was before I lived there. Great pictures and history,I would recommend this to anyone interested in the past.

The book was brand new and shipped quickley
