While the photography is stunning (by Kindra Clineff, whose name is misspelled on the cover), the text is wishy-washy and pointless. There is very little specific information on the places mentioned (history, architectural styles, etc) but rather vague inspiration for the home decorator. It's likely I'm the wrong audience for this book, but I came away from it feeling like I didn't learn anything about New England.

I think that the only criticism that I can level at this book is that the authors could have elaborated more on the locality of where the pictures were taken. In some cases they do, and in others they don't. Overall, however, this book provides the reader a colorful and clear glimpse into the pellucid sanctuaries that make up New England. The trees, the houses, the gardens, lakes and seas!! Great book.

Organized into the seasons, New England Style captures the mood of the New England lifestyle. With Beautiful Photographs and season discriptions, the book perfectly captures the traditions, pastimes and familiar places we all know and visit through out the years. From the cold winter nights in an eighteenth century snowbound cottage to the rural Pumpkin Patch in Cumberland Maine, this book excites you to enjoy all New England and it's seasons have to offer. It's truly a wonderful book. I give you my word!
