Maine: An Explorer's Guide

CLASSIC 16TH EDITION

Christina Tree & Nancy English

Explorer’s Guide Maine, the Swiss Army knife of guidebooks, is the standard that all other Maine travel guides are judged by. This 16th edition of the bestselling guide continues to expand coverage, with 32 detailed maps and thousands of trusted, up-to-date listings for the best lodging and dining places, all kinds of attractions and events, shopping, and much more.

Explorer’s Guides give travelers the tools and knowledge they need to discover every corner of a state. Whether you’re looking for the perfect traditional Maine sporting camp, an outfitter to guide a rafting trip, trailheads, artists’ colonies, historic homes, or museums, this most comprehensive guide to the state has all the answers.

An alphabetical “What’s Where” section explains everything from the Abenaki and blueberrying to summer theater and windjammers; up-to-date regional and downtown maps help you get around; handy icons point out places of extra value, family- and pet-friendly establishments, wheelchair-accessible sites and businesses, popular wedding venues, and more.

Christina Tree has contributed hundreds of travel articles to the Boston Globe and writes regularly for Yankee Magazine. She launched the Explorer’s Guides series more than 25 years ago and coauthors Explorer’s Guides to Vermont, New Hampshire, and the Berkshire Hills and Pioneer Valley. She and her husband live in Cambridge, MA.

Nancy English writes on food and travel for the Boston Globe and the Portland Press Herald. She is also the author of the dining guide Chow Maine (Countryman). English lives in Portland, ME.

Praise for Maine: An Explorer's Guide:

A narrative blend of hard fact, informed opinion, and pure style.” —Maine Times

“As essential as a Swiss Army Knife in the north woods or a compass on the coast . . . thoughtfully organized, easy to use, sparing with soaring description and wonderfully profligate with minor details.” —Wayne Curtis, The New York Times

“No wonder they call this the 'original Maine bible.'” —Chicago Tribune

“The most encyclopedic and useful guide to the state.” —Travel + Leisure

Maine: An Explorer's Guide is “the most helpful and well-researched.” —Condé Nast Traveler
