We are so excited to be carrying Steve Herrell’s book “Ice Cream and Me”, which illustrations contributed by the talented Allie Martineau (a long time A2Z employee)! Herrell’s is such a staple of Downtown Northampton and it’s fascinating to read Steve’s story and the history of our favorite ice cream shop!
In 1973, Steve Herrell “started a revolution” (The Washington Post); he’s the entrepreneur who originated the ice cream mix-in, reignited our love for a creamier, home-style ice cream, and first created flavors such as Cookies ‘n’ Cream and Heath Bar Crunch. He operated busy ice cream parlors for 37 years, and here tells his own story in a personal, friendly style, full of humor and warmth. He looks at the science of flavoring, his Great Uncle Raymond’s crazy ice cream machine, the mix-in bandwagon, trisecting the angle, jug band music, some business issues, and even a little philosophy! You enjoy tons of colorful images, including original illustrations by artist Allie Martineau.
