"The lanes and Legends of NJ"
I lent the subject book to my good friend Mickey Coen. He returned the favor by giving me a new one he had never read in return. It is a paperback copyrighted 1956, sixth printing.
I just wanted to remark that, as I turned it over a few times in my hands, it feels good to hold a brand new book by Beck in your hands. It doesn't matter that you've read it before, it just feels special, like a jewel recently discovered and brought to light. As I stood there, I saw myself cozily curled up on my favorite chair, in a warm comfy house, in the dead of winter, taking another trip with Henry Charlton Beck, to lands that he made us love through his own special love of them.
I lived not in those days, but how I long for their measured simplicity.
