A nice compilation of maps that help you find everything and everywhere in Boston! I used it for my first ever trip to Boston and it was comforting to know it was always within easy reach. There are maps to help you find everything from neighborhoods to tourist attractions, from restaurants to colleges, from shopping to entertainment spots. Of course, the maps that I found most helpful of all were those for the Metro system and public transportation!

Highly recommended if you'll be doing a lot of traveling around Boston on your own!

After looking and buying a number of bulky guides,(many which focused on Cape Cod or Martha's Vinyard) I finally found the only concise, detailed and rich in description guide to Nantucket out there. A bonus is that its tiny enough to fit in your purse or pocket as you walk or bike around the island. A++

Excellent book. Two questions though, why don't you offer this song book in a spiral bound? Have you ever read and tried to play music out of a paperback! Duh, most instruments take two hands to play with, plus a hankerchief. How am I suppose to hold the book open?

Thanks for listening,

Tom Seymour, acclaimed as a naturalist from the State of Maine, has written a fascinating survey of nature's bounty. This book is highly recommended to readers with an interest in ecology and the world of nature. The author supplies much hard to find information concerning nature's many hidden treasures: edible plants, medicinal plants, and the like. The book features superb color plates, cross-referencing, and a writing style that says "keep reading...."

I received a copy of this book as a gift and enjoyed it very much. The book has many views of the mountain scenery that are not in other books. The author obviously spent time hiking the trails to find good scenes. Picture quality is generally excellent. People who want to get a taste of the varied scenery will enjoy it.

I for one like history to be both accurate and dramatic - it so seldom is both. In this book it is. The research is meticulous and exceedingly well presented. The crisp, engaging style blends perfectly with the fine but terrifying paintings depicting the doomed ship. The newspaper portraits of passengers and crew harmonize with the graphic, yet deeply compassionate tale of human disaster. Also, the cover of the book is aesthetically powerful and highly effective. I enthusiastically recommend this fine work.

This is a great cookbook published by the Ronald McDonald House in Providence, RI. The book devotes an entire chapter to local favorites, Italian cuisine and seafood dishes. Other chapters include appetizers, soups and salads, breads, main dishes and desserts. The recipes are easy to follow and you won't find yourself running to the store for many special ingredients, they are already in your pantry. There are several "to die for" dessets including a white chocolate cheese cake and a blueberry teacake. The book makes a great gift too with its colorful artwork and bold red cover.

This book was all I needed to plan a getaway weekend on Cape Cod with my wife. We were short on planning time, and this book recommended a place to stay and some great hikes. If you want to get away in New England and spend your time outdoors, Jermanok's research is right on the mark!

Recently I went on a mystery New England road trip...so I decided to purchase a book to aid me along the way. This one came in quite handy! We went across Massachusetts, up Vermont, down New Hampshire, and even caught a glimpse of Maine--and had a great time, thanks to Frommer's! we were able to go on the back roads and see how it is really in those states, and at the same time incorporate some of the "must sees", making our trip more unforgettable than ever! Thanks to Frommer's for doing such a great job, making it easier for us to see what it's like with the great pictures, and easy directions to get there without any difficulty at all. If you need to get away...pick this book, and have a great time!

Among the MANY B&B guides to the Northeast, I found this one the most helpful for deciding where to go from Boston. Helfpul facts include travel times to the destinations, Nantucket vs. Martha's Vineyard, and other off-the beaten track locales (outside of Massachusetts). The book has helpful editorial, but more meaty that the general "quaint inn, hospitable couple serves muffins".
