"Over the years the Town and Gown community of Princeton has been the subject of many publications, varying in scope and purpose. What distinguishes this new work from what has come before is its fine balance of photographic artistry with a concise, easily readable literary style.

For anyone who would like to know more about this unique community, “Discovering Princeton” offers an easily-accessible, multi-faceted epiphany."--Jon Hlafter, university architect at Princeton University (now retired)
