Maine and New England Books

We'll be distributing another wonderful book from Historic New England this year: Drawing Toward Home: Designs for Domestic Architecture from Historic New England. This colorful, beautifully designed book presents three centuries of home designs through architectural drawings, perspective illustrations, photographs, and essays. Mid summer, we'll have a new book by Eva Murray, Well Out to Sea: Year-Round on Matinicus Island, about life and logistics living twenty-two miles out to sea. Longtime Tilbury author Neil Rolde treats us to his first novel, a political thriller titled O. Murray Carr, full of sizzle and suspense (and of course some history, too . . .). This fall we'll add to our fine list of books about Native Americans with From Indian Island to Omaha Beach: Charles Shay, Penobscot Indian War Hero, a fascinating story. The Cranberry: Hard Work and Holiday Sauce was a late arrival last year, as were two books by well-known Maine authors: Maine in the World: Stories of Some of Those from Here Who Went Away, by Neil Rolde, and Nature and Renewal: Wild River Valley and Beyond, by Dean Bennett. Don't miss them!
