Editorial Reviews

Review

"Unusual places that are worth making a detour for."
--The Boston Globe

"Whenever someone writes about New Hampshire's out-of-way places of interest, I scour through to see if any of my own favorites were left out. Darn it all ... none of them were! In fact [the authors' added quite a few I didn't know about."
--Judson D. Hale Sr., Editor, Yankee magazine

"A New Hampshire guidebook that will both entertain and inform New Hampshire natives and visitors alike. This book deserves a permanent home in the glove compartment of your car."
--The Honorable Walter Peterson, former governor of New Hampshire

This review is from: New Hampshire: Off the Beaten Path (3rd ed) (Paperback)

This book gives very concise and complete directions to the locations of the places listed. Not only was I able to find every location that I wanted to see and with little or no problem, but also there were good places to eat and other things to do along the way.The accuracy in the distances from the starting points to the destinations is so good that with care there is almost no chance of getting lost. Obviously the authors took great care to be accurate in their discriptions and directions and have written a book that is a real joy to use. I look forward to using other guides by the same authors as I know the will be correct in their information.

5.0 out of 5 stars Useful!, August 31, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: New Hampshire: Off the Beaten Path (3rd ed) (Paperback)

Spent a week in the White Mtns and used the book extensively. Most interesting was "discovering" the old Mineral Springs resort in Conway. Book was well written, concise maps and directions were very clear. This book, combined with a good road map and a general guidebook make touring NH very enjoyable.
