“Fodor’s Travel Maine, Vermont & New Hampshire” by Jordan Barry, John Blodgett, Andrew Collins, Alexandra Hall, Kate McCarthy, Mary Ruoff. 2025 edition.

I bought this book for my holiday to Maine. Having already visited New Hampshire (before I bought this book) and Vermont is next on the list.

Fodor travel books are overall brilliant. However I found this one to be limited in the areas that I was visiting in Maine. Couple of restaurant recommendations and hotels. (Thank god for Google and social media.) The maps were useful. Loved the section about lighthouses!

This edition covers Maine and New Hampshire, so great for my research. Fodor’s is great for determining places to view and eat. Perfect specific info for Pubs and restaurants, Fodor’s provided the best info for my requirements for this rip. Not a lot of glossy photos, which is ok with me.

we did a Maine coastal drive but did not get the best recommendations in each town from this book. we had to use alternative resources for the same.

I collect Fodor's Travel books! I have since I was a teenager. I always promise myself that I will one day go to those places that I love reading about! And while it's been about 12 years since I was last there, I do believe that Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire have some of the most beautiful fall foliage of any of the 48 contiguous states I've been in! Simply gorgeous! And I'd love to go again. Maybe next fall!

From the first pages, which do, indeed, feature photographs of fall foliage, we see the Top Reasons To Go:
* Fall Foliage
* Regional Food (You haven't eaten until you've eaten fresh caught Maine lobster!)
* Outdoor Fun ( Hiking, boating, biking, or simply taking in the views!)
* Small Towns (I love the small town greens and small taverns!)
* Fantastic Skiing (You'll have to trust the book here! I am so afraid of downhill skiing! Shushing I'm fine with!)
* The Coast (A look of the Atlantic standing high above on an overlooking cliff, and you will never think of the ocean the same again! Simply a beautiful sight! Especially when you are standing next to an ancient lighthouse! Superb!)

I can't wait to make another trip up! It's an amazing experience if you haven't been yet. And if you haven't, then grab a copy of this book. It's the ultimate guide to seeing just exactly what you think will make the perfect experience for you!

I rate this book FIVE STARS.



And I give it a BIG THUMBS UP.



With my Personal Recommendation.
