For all the popular stereotypes of crowded turnpikes and industrial wastelands, New Jersey is in reality one of the most beautiful and diverse states in the nation. From sweeping countryside to vibrant urban centers to the celebrated Jersey Shore, the Garden State has something for everyone, and then some.

New Jersey offers a wide array of attractions, all captured here in Steve Greer’s spectacular photographs. Follow Our New Jersey to the landmarks and sites celebrating the state’s seafaring heritage, its role in the Revolutionary War, its famous natives like Thomas Edison, and much more. Let the book introduce you to cultural experiences as different as Native American festivals, Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Museum, and Atlantic City’s bustling boardwalk. Explore the diverse ecosystems, wildlife, and outdoor activities of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, or the wetlands, barrier islands, estuaries, bays, and rivers of the Coastal Heritage Trail Route.

Summary: "Our New Jersey by Steve Greer"
I was given this book last year and everyone who picks it off my coffee table raves about it. This Christmas I bought it for gifts. The pictures are unique because the photograper has a gift for seeing things that are beautiful and interesting and capturing them on camera. Any New Jersey native would relate to the pictures that bring back so many wonderful memories. I will always have this book on my coffee table.

Summary: "New Jersey 'Garden State' Images"
This is a wonderful, comprehensive, imspirational book of my beloved home state of New Jersey. I now reside in Stuart, Florida along with many other 'Garden State' transplants, and when I began circulating my copy of the book, well.....Mr. Greer has been busy ever since mailing additional copies everywhere. It is a great Christmas/Holiday gift-giving book. Steve has dedicated many years in gathering these beautiful images of New Jersey, from its mountain tops to its many shores. He hasn't missed a thing, flower/fauna, wildlife, nature, people, especially the children and all the natural beauty found in the State, is captured magnificantly. You will read and re-read this book. I also purchased the annual calendar that Steve issues each year, 2009 is titled simply 'New Jersey' I have also purchased in the past, another great 'Jersey' book: Natural Wonders of the Jersey Pines and Shore by Mr. Greer. Congratulations Steve on another work of art so beautifully and well done. Penny
