2009-01-09T23:35:00.000-08:00

The Tampa Bay, on Florida's gulf coast, has been inhabited since ancient times by the Indians, Spanish explorers, and English settlers, but it wasn't until Fort Brooke was established in 1824 that true development began. It soon was populated by an international mix of people. Railroad baron Henry B. Plant brought the railroad to Tampa and built the grand Tampa Bay Hotel and Port Tampa. The Latin Quarter became the cigar capital of America. Over 300 postcards show Tampa's history from 1902 to 1950, portraying its people, hotels, parks, government buildings, churches, gardens, schools, nearby communities, and events such as the annual Gasparilla Festival.

Greetings from New Jersey , The Garden State

2008-12-21T23:28:00.000-08:00

Long before Bruce Springsteen picked up a glossy Tichnor Brothers postcard to decorate his first album cover in 1973, vacationers were sending the signature "Greetings from Asbury Park" card to family and friends. They were also mailing greetings from Newark, Camden, Sea Isle City, and Seaside Heights. In fact, sending postcards began as a fad in the final years of the nineteenth century and continues to this day as travel-happy Americans send their loved ones "wish you were here" messages from destinations far and wide. Greetings from New Jersey is the first book to look back at the postcards that have played a part in New Jersey's travel industry. Basing the structure of the book on the state's six official tourism regions - Gateway, Skylands, the Delaware River, Greater Atlantic City, the Southern Shore, and the Shore - Helen-Chantal Pike provides through her section introductions and lengthy captions a general history of each region and a detailed history of each postcard. The nearly four hundred postcards included in the book have been selected from her personal collection of more than three thousand. The final chapter of the book elaborates on the history of postcard use from 1893, and details the different collectible genres of postcards. Accessibly written and loaded with full color reproductions of vintage postcards, Greetings from New Jersey will be of interest not only to tourists, but to all state residents and historians as well.

Greetings from Indiana: Vintage Hoosier Postcards

2008-12-04T23:24:00.000-08:00

During the first half of the 20th century, nearly every store had a rack of postcards for sale. At the rate of one cent for the postcard, plus another cent to mail, it was an efficient way to send a message. Household telephones were scarce, television wasn't invented yet, and photography was a big deal and expensive. The postcard served as a means of communication that was quick (they were often delivered within the state in a day or two) with the added bonus of a picture of interest that could be displayed or put into an album. More than 70 communities and sites dating from the early 1900s to the 1950s appear as classic postcards in this book. The street scenes, landmarks, fine homes, and roadways are presented just as they were up to a century ago. Handwritten messages and tourist promotions of the time add further charm to this remarkable assembly of nearly 250 vintage Hoosier postcards.
