Review Quotes:
"Mining heritage sites as tourist attractions, like the mining that preceded them, are fortuitously successful - but that success is not guaranteed. Some pay out; others may not. This perspective of uniqueness and precariousness (particularly mining as a tourist attraction) pervades the viewpoint of the many contributions to Conlin and Jolliffe's volume. Their edited work address two topics that they construe as not yet adequately examined by the tourism academy: what happens to replace an economic mainstay when mining leaves a community and how do you preserve mining heritage in an increasingly competitive tourism environment?"- Susan R. Martin, IA: The Journal of the Society for Industrial Archaeology, August 2009
