Maine Books

Great book. I have been traveling to Maine for vacations for years, and this guide still provided me with great new travel tips for areas I thought I knew well. I am returning to Maine again this summer, and will be using this book as my primary reference.

Maine is one of my favorite vacation spots. Bar Harbor, Acadia State Park, etc. But Maine is more than just its beautiful resorts and delicious lobster. And this little volume will tell you and your students all about it.

The "Portrait of America" series is a terrific introduction for pre-teens to the 50 states and to the places and events that shaped the history of the United States. This "Maine" installment is particularly good. The book is broken down into sections like "History", "Culture", "Economy" etc., and each section is thoughtfully written and edited. The "Culture" section is especially good and is very inclusive.

This book, as well as the entire "Portrait of America" series, will prove to be a valuable teaching tool to all primary school educators.

This is an excellent book on the amphibians, turtles, and reptiles of Maine. Great text, detailed maps, good photographs, up-to-date taxonomy, and adheres to standardized common names. An authoritative and easily-used guide that will serve well both North American herpetologists and the citizens of Maine. Highly recommended.

This is a great book covering everything including the history, ecology, biology, and more of Altlantic Salmon. This book has impressive photographs, artwork, and text; it is interesting and informative for everyone. The author is one of the most respected and knowledgeable and experienced scientists in the field.

Great bass fishing guide! Dave Barnes, a local bass pro and Harry Vanderweide, editor for the Maine Sportsman take you across the state hunting the big ones. Includes lake maps with highlighted hotspots. Oversized 8 1/2" by 11" paperback.

These fold out bird guides are great bec you can spill juice or coffee or soda on them and just wipe them off, and they don't get torn up in purses, backpacks, etc. They also don't take up much space. They aren't really paperbacks -they are laminated fold outs.

Nancy's Maine photographs are great. It helps to see the great rocky Maine coast when time and gas prices make it tough to travel. A good book full of great Maine photos.

What can I say? This is a great collection of Maine Coon Cats, in various cute poses. The photography is excellent, very sharp and full of nicely saturated colors. A nice celebration of that quintessentially American breed of cat: Fluffy, smart and slightly savage!

The photos in the calendar are beautiful. Anyone who enjoys cats will love the monthly depictions from kitten to cat and back again.
I definitely reccomend this for a year of delightful viewing.

Generally I don't purchase commercially produced calendars, but I had to make an exception when I decided to get my Maine Coon Cat calendar for 2009. Absolutely beautiful photographs for each months. The months that feature the Maine Coon kittens make you want to reach out and touch them.
