Reviews
"(A) delightful look at an American icon. (Dolan) takes us on an irreverent yet informative tour. Considering the book¿s accessibility, the amount and quality of its coverage, and the current lack of comparable titles, this is highly recommended for both academic and public libraries."-- The Library Journal "Reading this book feels like sitting on a front porch listening to a master storyteller. If you're lucky enough to have a porch, there could be no better place to read it." --The Washingtonian Online Book Reviews "The American Porch by Michael Dolan (The Lyons Press, 2003) calls itself "An Informal History of an Informal Place." It's a wry, well-researched look at the place-and the people-who rocked, talked and courted on it for three centuries."--Parade Magazine, "Dolan interweaves his experiences designing and constructing his own front porch, giving this tribute to an American classic an engaging personal slant." --AMERICAN PORCH, "His analysis of the significance of the porch is persuasive. Dolan amply demonstrates that the porch is primarily a means of escaping the heat and, almost as important, a locus for casual social interaction."-- Publishers Weekly, "His analysis of the significance of the porch is persuasive. Dolan amply demonstrates that the porch is primarily a means of escaping the heat and, almost as important, a locus for casual social interaction."--Publishers Weekly, "Dolan interweaves his experiences designing and constructing his own front porch, giving this tribute to an American classic an engaging personal slant."--AMERICAN PORCH
