3.0 out of 5 stars
Quaint book, but not highly informative...,
This review is from: Country Towns of Maine (Paperback)
My wife and I enjoy going off the beaten path and finding little gem of towns. We were hoping to use this book for some outings in Maine this coming October (2003). However, I should have paid more attention to the back cover on the description when I bought it. Donna Gold highlights 8 small towns with some interesting stories but nothing that would totally excite your average tourist. For example, I was looking for something "Down East" and read the section on the town of Addison. She goes into a feel-good story about a retiree from Florida who moved there in the 80's and is now building a schooner. While it is fine and dandy, it isn't likely that this gentleman would want everyone and their dog to stop by to chat with him the way she did about his life and passion for these magnificant ships.I don't know - I reckon for me that my disappointment was that I didn't pay as much attention to the back cover as it would have briefly given an idea of what I may have expected. It's quaint reading, but not practical for your average tourist who likes hideaway places. |
