Editorial Reviews

The author of Maine: An Explorer's Guide goes culinary in this hearty guide to off-the-beaten-path eateries in the Pine Tree State. Diversity is the keynote of this cleverly titled book, which includes farmers' markets and green groceries; lobster pounds; clam shacks; fish markets; ma-and-pa diners; "pick your own fruit" orchards; high-end restaurants; and hideaway cafés. An easy-fit addition to the glove compartment reference shelf.
