Popularity Pushes Mann’s Vanishing Ocean City Into Second Printing

BERLIN – Less than a year after it was released, the overwhelmingly popular Vanishing Ocean City has gone into a second printing.

Local author Bunk Mann released Vanishing Ocean City, a photo-dominated historical account of the beach town, in September after years of work. He had 5,000 copies and hoped to sell them over the course of two summers. Six months later, he has fewer than two dozen books left.

“It’s been really gratifying,” Mann said. “The locals have really supported the book.”

To ensure that tourists and summer residents have the opportunity to pick up a copy, a second printing of the coffee table book has been arranged.
