My latest book was published and made available for sale on August 10, 2006. It is a monograph on the history of a seaside community in Falmouth, Mass. known as Belvidere Plain. This is a history of Belvidere Plain; its people, history, and homes. The work has been printed in softcover. It contains 175 pages. There are more than 100 photographs in the book, of scenes both new and old. All but a handful of the homes on the Plain have been catalogued and photographed. It measures 8-1/4 x 8-1/4 and includes a foldout map of the early development. Several old-timers have been interviewed for their personal histories and early memories of Belvidere Plain.
This monograph is presented in the first person as a guide and can be carried with you as you walk up and down the local streets. It has been written in an old-fashioned style. It has been many years in the making and includes some of my notes dating back to 1972. I have lived in Falmouth since 1965. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Gus, if you were to map out the "Belvidere Plain" in Falmouth, what streets would surround it today?
Today, the boundaries would be Shore Street (west), Vineyard Sound (south), Falmouth Harbor (east), and Queen Street to the north, extending an imaginary line all the way across to Shore Street to the point of beginning. Historically, the northern boundary was that side of Clinton, along with a stretch of Scranton up to about the Flying Bridge.
Thanks Gus. I read the opening pages to your book on your blog and will look to pick it up this summer when I'm in town.
