Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although humble in their function, these carefully crafted barns have shaped the landscape of Maine for centuries. Built long before the days of plastic and plywood, the barns have survived for generations, each with a story to tell. In Bridgton, one barn offered comfort to a 16 year-old boy when his father was injured; another New Gloucester barn was so important to one family that its likeness was engraved on their headstones. Some owners said they would rather see their homes burn than their barns, and others have dedicated their lives and countless funds to restoring and preserving these buildings. From modest English to grand Victorian, Don Perkins examines the structures, origins, and evolution of Maine's barns, demonstrating the vital and precious role they play in people's lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's springtime on Cranberry Island—and love is in the air. It seems like every woman has the hots for buff trainer Dirk De Leon. He and his equally-gorgeous business partner, Vanessa Black, are leading a weight-loss retreat at the Gray Whale Inn—forcing innkeeper Natalie Barnes to lighten up her butter-laden breakfast menu. The mood on the island darkens when two grisly discoveries are made. The first is a skeleton walled up at the island's lighthouse. The second is a corpse of the fresh variety—the handsome Dirk! Could the spirit that once embodied the skeletal remains—perhaps the lighthouse keeper who disappeared a century ago—be responsible for Dirk's death? The police pin the blame on Natalie's boyfriend who—to her dismay—had a long-ago fling with Vanessa. To find the true killer and ease her own aching heart, Natalie must untangle the knot of jealous girlfriends and spurned admirers that once surrounded the hunky trainer. Praise: "MacInerney adds a dash of the supernatural, throws in some touristy tidbits and finishes with some tasty diet-right recipes."—Publishers Weekly "All thumbs up for Murder Most Maine, another in the engaging series of Cranberry Island mysteries. Karen MacInerney writes with verve and vitality, and her Natalie Barnes is a Maine original. I'm ready to book a room at the Gray Whale Inn!"—Susan Wittig Albert, bestselling author of Nightshade and other China Bayles Herbal Mysteries

Book excerpt: This book is a collection of photographs that I have taken of old country barns along the back roads of Maine. Farms are becoming more and more scarce and my purpose in photographing these beautiful old barns was to try and preserve a part of our past because soon they will be gone forever. So many of them have been abandoned because farming has dwindled down over the years. When these barns fall to the ground in disrepair or are torn down to make housing developments or condo complexes then the farm land that they stand on will no longer be a part of our landscape. The land will be bulldozed and stripped of the beautiful meadows surrounding them and all of these barns will no longer exist. They will become a thing of the past.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The remarkable true story of a man who lived alone in the woods of Maine for 27 years, making this dream a reality—not out of anger at the world, but simply because he preferred to live on his own. “A meditation on solitude, wildness and survival.” —The Wall Street Journal In 1986, a shy and intelligent twenty-year-old named Christopher Knight left his home in Massachusetts, drove to Maine, and disappeared into the forest. He would not have a conversation with another human being until nearly three decades later, when he was arrested for stealing food. Living in a tent even through brutal winters, he had survived by his wits and courage, developing ingenious ways to store edibles and water, and to avoid freezing to death. He broke into nearby cottages for food, clothing, reading material, and other provisions, taking only what he needed but terrifying a community never able to solve the mysterious burglaries. Based on extensive interviews with Knight himself, this is a vividly detailed account of his secluded life—why did he leave? what did he learn?—as well as the challenges he has faced since returning to the world. It is a gripping story of survival that asks fundamental questions about solitude, community, and what makes a good life, and a deeply moving portrait of a man who was determined to live his own way, and succeeded.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ames Farm of Woolwich, Maine documents the life of a Maine dairy-farming family in the 1930s through '60s. The Ames family worked the same land in Woolwich, Maine since 1778 and Roberta Ames, the author of this memoir, is the last member of the family to have been born and raised on the farm. Although the family raised crops for themselves and for sale, their farm was primarily a dairy farm with a herd of twenty-five cows, calves, and heifers, which had to be tended to every day. The farm had no electricity, no running water, no ice other than what was harvested from the river, and the family's workday began every day, summer or winter, at 4:30 a.m. Despite the hardships, Roberta loved the farm and all the attributes of a subsistence farming family's life. It was a personal tragedy for her, as well as for her father and mother, when circumstances made it clear that they could no longer maintain the farm, and the farm had to pass out of the Ames family after nearly 200 years. A member of the sixth, and last, generation of the Ames family to own the farm, Roberta wrote this memoir, not for nostalgia's sake alone, but to document a vanished way of life before it is forgotten forever.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "There have been many influences for us over the years but the defining factor in our firm's work is that we practice architecture in Maine, amidst extraordinary and ordinary beauty." Although it has become something of a cliché for architects to say they pay close attention to a building's site and surroundings, for Elliott + Elliott Architecture, residing, working, and building along Maine's rugged coast has translated not only into refreshing architectural forms whose roots in tradition are clear, but also into collaborative processes with local builders and artisans, in the spirit of the shipbuilders and craftsmen of the state's history. Featuring six of their most emblematic residential projects, Houses of Maine demonstrates that, in the right hands, the rough-around-the-edges individualism and often harsh natural environment for which this coast is known allow for a balanced, serene, and vernacular architecture whose links with the past create nothing less than a confidently optimistic preview of the region's architectural future.
