Reviews

"A new book shines a light on the seductive history of New England signs -- specifically a neon light. Susan Bregman's book, "New England Neon," features signs from all over the region, including two from Great Barrington, the signs for Cove Bowling and Gorham & Norton Package Store.The importance of the signs, Bregman said, has to do with the personal connections people make with them and also the story they tell about the location they sit in." Berkshire Eagle

"The neon signs of old, and yes some still exist in this age of LED lights, are celebrated in a very entertaining and informative book called New England Neon. By Photographer and Historical Susan Bregman. From Maine to Cape Cod New England Neon is a photobook memory of iconic Neon Signs with author offering up some great pictures celebrating the fun and attractiveness of neon. " WBZ
