 Not a guide book May 14, 2007

Interesting book, but it is not a guide to the Carolina Coast, as it states in its introduction.
 You will treasure this book September 7, 2004

This has to be the most definitive information available about North Carolina's coast, including every island, town and community. It's incredible! Being a native North Carolinian I thought I knew a little something about coastal North Carolina, but when I opened Zepke's newly released book I was absolutely astounded by the depth and detail of her research. It has everything from history to fishing schedules, ghost tales to fun quizzes, interspersed throughout with fascinating tidbits of information.
As the author quips,"I did it for you", you'll surely smile, picturing her footprints left in every nook and cranny along the entire North Carolina coast. Close your eyes and you'll feel the wind on your face and the sand beneath your feet and marvel at the magic of this book.

We bought this in a bookstore during our vacation and were so glad we did. As we visited places, we read what the book had to say about its history and historic sites. I really enjoyed the highlighted boxes filled with interesting trivia. The photos of what places used to look like were also helpful and interesting. Our family answered the quizzes found at the end of each section. As a middle school teacher, I am looking forward to using it as a reference for my classes. The Fun Ways to Learn, also found at the end of each section, will be especially helpful.

I was born & raised in NC & grew up loving the coast, but have lived away for a number of years. This book took me "home again". It is well written & covers so many of the beautiful & interesting places on that diversified coast. The pictures as well as the descriptions make it real. After reading this delightful & informative book, I truly do want to go home again if only for a visit. It gives you a wonderful insight into the coast of the Old North State.
