I love Collector's Press entire series of
"Retro" books -- they're fun, gorgeously produced,
contain quality articles and recipes and make wonderful gifts.
Retro Beach Bash is a fabulous addition to the
library as it gives all the information necessary to make
the most of a day at the beach. Half information and half
cookbook, you'll reminisce about such nostalgic activities
as beach combing and kite flying, learn how to make the best
sand castle on the beach, and find ideas for other popular
beach games and sports, including surfing.
After you've browsed the pages that are chock
full with beach fun tips and advice, it's time to eat. The
second half of this book is a cookbook, complete with fabulous
picnic and grilled foods to satisfy every appetite at the
beach.
The entire book is done in full color with
lots of great 50s style artwork and photos, giving it a kitschy
nostalgic feel that makes it fun to browse through. But more
than kitsch, there's lots of useful information and terrific
recipes here.
