Why should you purchase "The Secrets of Crab Island" when there is already
Crab Island material published
on the web?
Why does anyone buy a
book when they have access to the internet? The Internet is wonderful,
books are especially wonderful!.
Certainly it should be obvious to anyone that America's Historic Lakes,
publishing online since 1997, believes in the power of the Internet.
Yet, we are aware of its limitations. We love the internet, yet we have
in our personal library hundreds of titles. We have always bought books,
and we will continue to do so. The Web, and America's Historic Lakes,
was never meant to compete with, nor replace printed history books. "The
Secrets of Crab Island", a companion book, will bring the reader enjoyment that just isn't
possible sitting in front of a computer screen.
In addition, the print
version of "Secrets" is different... New photos, new material, different
information and format. This is not to say that the web version is
outdated. It's not. BOTH versions have their advantages and
disadvantages.
Can I see what the book looks like?
Certainly. We have
provided sample pages for you to see. Simply click on the links below to
view .pdf versions of select pages from "The Secrets of Crab
Island". Right-click and choose SAVE TARGET AS if you want to
download the pages to your computer. You will need the free Acrobat Reader installed (most computers already have it).
