Customer Reviews:

A great book and adventure!.......2006-11-03

We used this book this summer to travel throughout Vermont. We found the guide very helpful. This book helped us see places of wonder, taste fantastic food, and meet wonderful, friendly people! The info was very helpful. Before our trip I studied the guide, and marked all possible interests, then research each of those points online before we left, both tools helped create a fantastic wonderful adventure!

a great reference guide.......2006-08-04

This book provides all the information you need for a first-time trip to Vermont.

A Week in Vermont.......2000-04-30

About six months prior to my husband's and my trip to Vermont, I purchased Tree & Jennison's book and poured over its contents, intrigued by all that the New England state could offer these Texans. Because the authors had taken the time to visit the various locations noted in the book, I had no worries about the trip. Once in Vermont, I used the book as a bible, knowing what to expect in each village. I met many of the people that they had mentioned, and each had glowing remarks about them. Without this book, my vacation would not have been as organized or enjoyable, and we even went during Mud Season! I recommend this book wholeheartedly because the information is well researched.

more than just useful.......1999-12-28

This book captures, for me, something close to the heart of Vermont--it's clean, simple, direct, truthful, and deeply entertaining. I have done a lot of travelling in the state over the last 18 months, and found the Explorer's Guide reflects with accuracy and cultural compassion the experience of living and wandering here. Some people will buy it for the inn and the restaurant listings, but its real strength is in its quiet delineation of the regions and their differences. If I were allowed another star, I would use it.

well organized, concise, well worth every penny.......1999-08-27

We did not know much about Vermont but the book got us on our way quickly. The different sections are clear and get straight to the point.Wide variety of things to do, places to stay, eat and shop. A very satisfying purchase.

Customer Reviews:

Great guide.......2005-01-21

I used this book when travelling around Vermont last summer. Tons of information on sights to see, outdoor activities, lodging and restaurant. The maps were also very helpful in navigating through the state. I liked the fact that it broke the state up into six main areas so it was easy to find information when I needed it. My only complaint is that they didn't rate things on a star basis so I used this book in conjunction with the Frommer's guide. I recommend getting both because the Frommer's was a bit skimpy on information about things to do and see.

Chock full of information!.......2004-06-01

I just bought this book this week, and it is so packed full of great information. Restaurants, the history of the town(s), routes to take, inns to stay at, sports activies, farms to visit, hotels, special events and dates, shopping, etc... My ONLY complaint is that the pictures are all black and white, and there aren't very many of them. But then again, it never claims to be a photographic portrait of Vermont!
Love it. Five stars.

Excellent book! Useful informations about breaking, developing attitudes, hunting and field trialling with pointers and setters. Very nice book: who loves hunting dogs must have this item in his/her library. The book might be better (5 stars) with more illustrations/photos.

All about rhodos.......2003-06-03

The writer, a third generation nurseryman, is a leading rhodo grower and collector having led expeditions to Tibet and China in search of new species. He has written three previous books on rhododendrons and lectured extensively. This book gives the reader an extensive background in both rhodos and azaleas, with an emphasis on proper site preparation, soils and planting and maintenance. There is a beautifully illustrated plant directory some 40 pages in length.

There are some 800 species of rhododendron, and thousands of hybrids. They come in all shapes and sizes from dwarf species that look almost like heather growing on a hillside to some that have leaves some three feet in length. The writer, having introduced us briefly to the geography of the rhododendron, gets down to the business of his main theme - caring for them. The book is readable and contains useful information for anyone interested in growing rhododendrons.

Book Description

Diminutive Mickey Rooney has been in show business for more than 80 years as actor, producer, writer, composer, and director. His still-active career spans vaudeville, radio, television, the stage, and movies such as It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World, The Black Stallion, and The Bridges at Toko-Ri. He won two Golden Globes and an Emmy and has received or been nominated for many other awards. From leading a 17-piece band to writing a novel, Rooney has been dispensing earthy wisdom and good humor in the public eye for many decades.

Part biography and part reference tool, this richly illustrated work covers Rooney's life from his birth in 1920 and first stage appearance 16 months later to his television and film appearances in 2004. It discusses both his professional and personal life and includes information drawn from interviews with his peers, including Spring Byington, Jackie Cooper, and Ann Rutherford. Five appendices conclude the work: a detailed filmography of his more than 170 features and 65 shorts, each listing credits and a brief commentary, plus assorted reviews; listings of all his radio, television, and stage work; and a discography of his recorded work.
