A Guide to  Bird Finding in New
Jersey
 by William J., Jr. Boyle / Paperback / Aug 2002 New Jersey is one of the smallest and most densely populated states, yet the remarkable diversity of its birdlife surpasses that of many larger states. Well over 400 species of birds have been recorded in New Jersey and an active birder can hope to see more than 300 species in a year. William J. Boyle has updated his classic guide to birding in New Jersey, featuring all new maps and ten new illustrations. The book is an invaluable companion for every birder - novice or experienced, New Jerseyan or visitor.
The full-page, color photos are incomparable and include insets of winter plumage, color morphs and more. Plus, with the easy-to-use format, you don't need to know a bird's name or classification in order to easily find it in the book.
This FREE 72-page, full color guide features site descriptions, seasonal viewing forecasts, driving directions, public transportation options and guidelines for catch-and-release fishing throughout the Hackensack River Watershed area. Whether itŐs a guided tour of the wetlands, a short hike through bird habitats, or a peek at the wildflowers in Richard W. DeKorte Park, the Meadowlands District has a trail for you. YouŐll find miles of salt marshes that brim with natureŐs beauty all year round. To help visitors discover the hidden wonders of the Meadowlands, the NJMC has released the first comprehensive eco-tourism guide to the region and the Hackensack River.

by Michael Skudera / Paperback / October 2002 SkuderaŐs Ultimate Guide to New Jersey is the first combination travel guide and multimedia CD-ROM (requires Windows) of the Garden State. It features over 3,500 color photographs and over 1,000 points of interest. The 320 page guidebook starts by listing tours of several unique towns and villages of New Jersey. Where the guidebook ends, the accompanying multimedia CD-ROM only begins! Now your only option isnŐt just to read about a particular place, you actually see it before you go! You also have the option to print a specific point of interest, including maps and contact information, so you donŐt have to take the entire book with you on your excursions.
Di Ionno leads readers off the congested interstates to the seldom-explored secondary roads, where the real life of the state can be found. These intercounty or 500 series roads are a 6,788-mile network of mostly one-lane highways. They are never the most direct way to get anywhere-but they are a pleasure to drive and a way to see New Jersey life as lived by New Jerseyans.
There's much more to New Jersey than highways and diners, and Sceurman and Moran do their part to exalt the state's lesser-known virtues in this "journal of strange travels," which goes far beyond the legend of the Jersey Devil. The book, which sheds light on "slightly offbeat or left of center" oddities of the Garden State, is a kooky compilation of roads less traveled, unexplained phenomenon and unsolved mysteries.. In a more serious vein, the book also devotes a good chunk of pages to more unusual aspects of New Jersey's history. The magazine-like format, perked up with numerous photos, perfectly suits the subject's quirky nature.
Weird N.J. was such a phenomenon that it began a whole series of Weird state books, each one a bestseller. But the Marks, as they are called, always knew that there were more, bizarre stories lurking in their own home state. So back they went, camera and notebook in hand, to travel the highways and byways of New Jersey to chronicle more weirdly bizarre stories
 New Jersey GetawaysThe Complete Guide to Garden State Day Trips by Willa Speiser / New Jersey Monthly Press /Paperback / March 2001 In New Jersey getaways comes the mother lode of day-trip ideas. Admirably well researched, it offers the history and culture of the spot, as well as detailed directions to locations and attractions and best dining...right down to tips on easy parking that only natives know about. - Radio persolnality Jim Gearhart, New Jersey 101.5
