Review
"Jammed with facts, tidbits and anecdotes about P.E.I.—including its weather, people, places, politics, culture, crime, even slang. The book also has top-five lists, so you can impress people with your knowledge of the top five snowfalls or recommend the best places to grab a go-kart ride." —The Journal Pioneer
"Laugh, learn, and if you don't already appreciate everything the Island has to offer, you surely will after perusing the Prince Edward Island Book of Everything." —Seaside Social
"Charlottetown author Erin Moore compiles . . . the ultimate guide to experiencing the province's gems." —The Guardian
"Unashamedly proud of our history and natural beauty, Lynch writes about such topics as our famed coastline, folk art, museums, graveyards, festivals, and music, and of course, lighthouses and seafood." —Chronicle Herald
"Absolutely unequalled for letting you in on what to REALLY do in PEI." —Christine Scaman, A Greener Tea

Fun Things to Know and Tell...,

This review is from: Prince Edward Island Book of Everything (Paperback)
The "Prince Edward Island Book of Everything" is jam-packed with fun facts and stories to know and tell about one of Canada's great vacation destinations. In a series of entertaining chapters, a collection of authors tag-team topics such as the island's history, natural beauty, distinctive slang, weather, politics, and unique features, including its association with Lucy Maud Montgomery and her fictional creation "Anne of Green Gables." The book as a whole provides a nice synopsis of the flavor of a fascinating place and its inhabitants. The results may surprise even people who are already familiar with Prince Edward Island.
However, the PEI "Book of Everything" is not a conventional tourist guidebook. It does not address practical details such as accomodations, travel to and from, or even include a map of the island. Its best use may be in conjunction with any of several very adequate guide books put out by other publishers.
