The Maine Roadshow

"Maine Roadshow: A Roadside Tour of the State's History, Culture, Food, Funk & Oddities is lavishly illustrated with more than 400 photos, all taken by the author during a five-year, thousands-of-mile journey exploring and documenting all corners of the state. In this colorful exhibition, award-winning photo-journalist Tim O'Brien ventured far off the beaten path to discover interesting and often hidden roadside oddities and small attractions, while also exploring the lesser known aspects of the state's more familiar historic and significant attractions, giving the reader a robust understanding of the diversity of what Vacationland has to offer. This book has been created as an illustrated off the beaten path guide that introduces, through photos, hundreds of locations and events in the state. Many of which you won't find in the popular guides available at any book store or welcome center. Some are beautiful, some are quirky, some are odd, some are tasty, and some are downright historical and cool and need to be known. While exploring the destinations and landmarks within the book, the reader is encouraged to not only focus on the destinations, but to also embellish the journey along the way - just as the author did. That's how many of these hidden jewels of Maine were discovered"-- Provided by publisher.
