1 comments about Anglo-American Landscapes: A Study of Nineteenth-Century Anglo-American Travel Literature.

1. Easily the best book on this topic: extensively researched, beautifully written and full of revealing anecdotes. My only gripe is that it sometimes makes historical claims that are too sweeping, flattening the nineteenth century. A nice supplement in this regard is Allison Lockwood's _Passionate Pilgrims_.

2 comments about Mountain Bike! Maine.

1. Usually these types of books are about as fun to read as the phonebook; a maze of cookbook directions and boring narrative. Mountain Bike! Maine is an effective guide to riding which will please anyone who loves to ride and wants to explore the diverse trails of Maine. The authors have thoroughly researched each ride and done a great job of cutting away the fat and leaving in the spice. Each trail description includes helpful information and history on the area in addition to accurate directions. I've lived in Maine for 20 years and practically every ride was new to me. From gearhead to mudbuster and nature lover to history buff, I recommend this guide as a great way to put some fun into your riding!



2. I thought I knew all the trails!
   Buy this book if you have any intention of ever riding a bike in Maine.
   This is coming from a guy who thought he would be able to write such a book.
   Seriously worth it, they offer great detail about specific times of year and how it can effect trail conditions, clear directions, great maps, and local policies.
   See you at Katahdin!

1. I had heard that this book was not highly recommended, but what the heck, it was $14.00 and free shipping from Amazon.
   
   The cover photo, also displayed inside, is beautiful, as are all the other photos in the book. Some are not my cup of tea, but a lot of them are, and Joe Cornish has proven his mastery of light and the landscape photograph.
   
   I found the book somewhat instructional because the images gave me ideas for my own work, and the text isn't preachy or anything. All in all, a very good buy!
