The first guidebook to Maine is still the best--and now it's bigger and better than ever in this completely revised ninth edition. Since the first edition was published in 1952, the Maine Explorer's Guide has become an institution, nicknamed "the bible" by Maine travel professionals. Sought out by travelers from around the country, it's also required reading for locals, who carry it in their cars. Christina Tree and Elizabeth Roundy have explored every corner of the state to provide discriminating, opinionated recommendations for travelers of all persuasions. They go beyond the lobster pounds and tourist trails of the heavily-traveled coast, guiding travelers in to the far reaches of this vast and beautiful state. Special symbols highlight bargains, child- and pet-friendly establishments, and handicapped access. A quack-reference section and detailed maps make it easy to find your way around.
