Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, & Nantucket: An Explorer's Guide

In this third edition of her bestselling guidebook, Kim Grant reveals all the top places to go, how to escape bumper-to-bumper traffic on Route 28, and how to make the most of a vacation on the Cape. 60 photos. 18 maps.

This third edition of Grant's book is a comprehensive guide to a small but popular part of America. The seven chapters cover the upper, mid, and lower Cape, the outer Cape, Provincetown, Martha's Vineyard, and Nantucket. A preliminary section, "What's Where," gives a general look at attractions, shops, transportation, events, and other information. Each chapter is divided by towns, and each includes things to see, outdoor activities, beaches, ponds, walks, lodging, dining, entertainment, and shopping. Symbols indicate off-season attractions; good values for lodging, restaurants, activities, and shops; child and family interests; pet-friendly places; and rainy-day activities. Grant, a Bostonian, has written Lonely Planet and Insight guides to New England and claims to have visited all the places mentioned in this guide. Highly recommended for all public libraries.AGeorge M. Jenks, Bucknell Univ., Lewisburg, PA
