Book Description 
Sought out by locals and visitors alike, this first comprehensive traveler's guide to Vermont is still the most authentic. Longtime Vermont travelers and writers Christina Tree and Peter Jennison take you beyond foliage and maple syrup, off the beaten path and down winding dirt roads into the heart of Vermont. They seek out the places that don't make it into other guidebooks to give travelers a true insider's look at the Green Mountain State. Now in its eighth edition, it includes more information on restaurants, lodgings, activities, and attractions than ever. Special symbols highlight bargains, kid- and pet-friendly establishments, and handicapped access. Handy maps, a quick-reference "What's Where" section, and a detailed index make it easy to find where you want to go and how to get there. 

Ingram 
Continually updated, expanded, and improved over the course of its 14 years in print, Vermont: An Explorer's Guide presents a traveler's portrait of the state, both selective and thorough. Organized geographically, each section opens with a verbal snapshot of the region and goes on to include capsule descriptions of its finest museums and sites, activities, lodgings, restaurants, entertainment, and shops. 54 photos. 25 maps. --This text refers to the Paperback edition. 

From the Author 
Why I love co-authoring Vermont, An Explorer's Guide: People frequently ask me how I got "this job" and I have to explain that I made it up. Over the past 30 years I have written more than 1000 New England travel articles for The Boston Globe and roughly 20 years ago I began incorporating these stories into a series of books, which were the first to describe each of the New England states region by region and in practical detail. Vermont was the second in this series and half way through writing the first edition my mother became gravely ill so my publisher, Peter Jennison, swung in as the co-author. That was lucky! Peter, a novelist,7th generation Vermonter and historian, is a great asset to the book which--we think--combines some great word pictures of Vermont's least as well as best known places with all the detail info you need to explore them. I myself travel thousands of miles around the state every year, sleep as many places as I can and walk into hundreds of lodging places. I also check out shops, restaurant and take time to hike, boat and otherwise keep enjoying Vermont, which just keeps getting better the more I explore it.

Expert navigator
Hot off the press, this book has taken its rightful place as navigator in the front seat of my car. It will soon become dog-eared (and covered with dog hair), as it helps me find everything from great swimming holes to funky shops and museums in my home state. So far, my favorite place to swim is the rope swing on the Ottauquechee River--about a quarter mile up River Road from the Taftsville Bridge. See you there! 

The publisher, Helen Whybrow, The Countryman Press , September 16, 1998
An invaluable guide to all Vermont has to offer
Here we are in Woodstock, Vermont, and the leaves are beginning to change. This is the time of year we all find any excuse to explore the hills, and we are constantly amazed at the wealth of detail in this guide. We highly recommend it: As residents we rely on it all the time! If you come to this corner of the world, stop by! --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
