Encyclopedia of New Jersey (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) |
 | | Other states may be worthy of encyclopedias, but with the exception of high-profile states like California and cities like New York, it's unlikely they could generate a work as vast and weighty as the 927-page tome Rutgers University Press is bringing out this month. |
 | | This is truly an embarassment of riches, herons and egrets, munchmobiles and wampum, or, as onetime Princeton resident Fletcher Knebel once put it, as quoted in the Image entry: "A little of this, a little of that." Actually, in this book, it's a lot of this and a lot of that. |
 | | It is the Encyclopedia of New Jersey, on sale April 26, six and a half pounds of pure Jerseyana, nine years in the making and worth every tick of the old Jersey City Colgate's Clock that was spent on it. |
