Northern New England is a classic American destination: the rocky Maine coast, Vermont's Green Mountains, and New Hampshire's Lake District are all made for exploring. This full-color guide will help travelers plan the perfect trip, from leaf peeping and skiing to antiquing and fine dining.
FODOR'S MAINE, VERMONT & NEW HAMPSHIRE, 11TH EDITION is an excellent overview of the northernmost New England states. In addition to telling the reader about available opportunities in each area for recreation, dining, nightlife, shopping, and lodging, it also discusses the history of the area and mentions where you can go to learn about the history of each state. Anyone who, in 1984, saw the based-on-fact movie WHY ME?, in which the lead character's face is virtually destroyed in a car wreck caused by a drunk driver, might enjoy reading the Maine section's blurb on the home of anti-alcohol crusader Neal Dow, who invented Prohibition in 1851, while people who want inspiration to fight for what's important to them will love the parts of the Vermont section about Ethan Allen-related sites. Granted, this book does manage to miss some independent book and record stores, and includes little or nothing about radio stations in each area, but overall, it gives you a great picture of what northern New England is really like.

This book was very useful. However, it doesn't cover each state in depth, so if you are just visiting one state, you might look for a more comprehensive guide for that state.
Good resource, but no photos

Good source of information, but...has absolutely no photos! It's pretty hard to want to travel somewhere when you have no idea what the place looks like. Still, while traveling this book is quite useful.
