Customer Reviews

despite shortcomings, an excellent book4
Like the other reviewers, I too find there are 3 main troubles...

1) outdated material. It was written over 10 years ago and some questions are no longer accurate or even relevant
2) Questions are immediately followed by answers, making it difficult to test yourself.
3) organization is nill. there are some llosely defined "catagories" but many items appear in several catagories, such as questions about the Pine Barrens. There should've been some sort of reference in the back.

That said I still give this a 4 rating as there is a lot of material here, it covers lots of ground with a lot of information on almost every coneiveable topic in NJ. Despite the shortcomings, (most of which are merely annoying, not detrimental) it is quite interesting and worth the price, which is minimal.

Question and Answer Format3
I like this book. It is a list of questions and answers in Q&A format. There is an order by general subject, but nothing individually. There is no index, so if you're looking for something specific, it's hunt and peck.

Still it is a good compilation of facts about New Jersey. Some of them are the commonly known facts, but most of are tidbits you don't know about the state.
