This book is awesome. All shoudl read it. Jon Levy is an amazing writer, accomplished lawyer and now a state court judge.

This book is tribute to the love of the land - land that was owned and culivated by the Nearings (The Good Life). It shows in pictures the beauty of the Maine coast land, and what honest labor can bring. It also documents local culture and custom to give a flavor for the year-round life in a harsh winter and short but intense summer.

DeLorme has come out with a great new publication that is a must have for serious anglers. The 215 page, loose-ring book contains more than 1,700 fishing depth maps of Maine lakes and ponds by counties. There is also stocking information, fish species of each body of water, and location coordinates. This book is long overdue, and is remarkably priced. In fact, if you bought all of these maps from the Fish and Wildlife folks, one map at a time, the price would be prohibitive

This is an engaging and entertaining survey of the golf courses in Maine. As with any subjective gathering, there are bound to be differences of opinion, but for anyone interested in Maine golf, this is required reading. Also check out their review of golf courses in New Hampshire, which is equally useful.

In it's fifty years of existence the Farnsworth Art Museum has focused on acquiring a collection of art that represents the history of art and artists in Maine. This 256 page book is an excellent survery of their holdings from the early paintings of J Jonathan Fisher to the realist paintings of Neil Welliver.

There is a one page review of each of 84 artists followed by one to three color plates of their works held by the Farnsworth. The biographical sketch of each artist is concise and accurately describes how the artist fits into not only art in Maine but art in America from the 18th century to the present.

I love Maine art and I thoroughly enjoyed this book and learned a lot from it.

This book has great, timeless designs, that are very versatile. The sweaters are easily brought out of the 1980s by just a few color changes.

For anyone who enjoys the sparkle of sun on water, the haunting cry of a loon, or the reflection of fall colors and blue sky, this book is an outstanding reminder of the importance of healthy lakes to healthy human communities. Barnes and Bright invite us into their perspective of Maine's fresh water lakes with an intimacy that reveals the personal connections they both feel for these places. This book is filled with striking photographs and powerful imagery of the beautiful lure of Maine's lakes. An excellent book.

Maine Lighthouses: Documentation Of Their Past distinguishes itself from other books about Maine Lighthouses in that is is grounded almost entirely on primary sources. J. Candace Clifford, a lighthouse historian, collaborates with Mary Louise Clifford to present execerpts from the lighthouse collection in the National Archives that describe how lighthouse sites were selected, constructions of various towers and auxiliarh buildings, the appointment of keepers, weather-related damage to the stations, repairs and reconstruction done as the years advanced, logbooks of the daily lives of keepers, and much more. Black-and-white photographs illustrate this definitive historical resource for lighthouse fans; Maine Lighthouses: Documentation Of Their Past is the next best thing to combing primary sources firsthand.
