<br/><br/> This engaging book on Maine culture runs the gamut of lumbering, gardening, potato farming, lobstering, granite quarrying and shipbuilding.  There is a special chapter on Maine cookery with many recipes.  Mr. Mitchell is a veteran Maine author who writes with an informal, readable style that is a joy to read.  Of his many books, this is one that "Mainers" and vacationists alike will especially enjoy.
