I bought this book to help me plan my first trip to Maine. I plan to return it tomorrow. The majority of this book is lists of hotels and restaurants. There are lots of activities and sights listed as well. The problem is that the author does not distinguish between any of them. Every place is just listed with a short description. It is impossible for someone like me, who has never been to Maine, to determine which parts of Maine I should visit and what I should do while I'm there. I am a frequent traveller, and I have never seen a worse tour book.

Now in an expanded and thoroughly updated fifth edition, The Coast Of Maine Book by Nancy English is an excellent and thorough guide for tourists and travelers who want to explore the fun, wonder, and richness to be found along the coast of Maine. An excellent, comprehensive, highly recommended informational resource, The Coast Of Maine Book offers everything from tidal zones and bicycling advice, to a host of recommended lodging and dining places, historic buildings, tips on what to expect from the weather, seasonal events, shopping, and much more.
