If you're a cottage lover, this book is just the thing to read while lying on the dock -- or to keep you going during the long weeks in the city.
Charles Gordon, author of 1989's popular At the Cottage, has returned with another humorous look at life at the cottage (or, as is noted on the cover, the cabin, shack, lake, beach or camp). And cottage life has changed since the '80s -- what was once a peaceful retreat from busy life is now more suburban than ever, not to mention accessible to the outside world by cell phone, satellite TV and even the Internet.
Gordon covers every aspect of 21st-century cottage life, from lawn care to golf, and analyzes the human needs that have altered the landscape. "People are getting older," he says, and "they want more comforts and fewer inconveniences. They want more of the labour-saving devices that are available in the city. And they want more golf courses. We are seeing that in cottage country. Soon we may see a boom in labour-saving golf courses."
If you're ready for summer and ready to laugh, this is the book for you. Pick up a copy, settle into your hammock and get ready for modern cottage living.
