A Flatlander’s Guide to Maine

Let’s get one thing straight: a “Flatlander” is anyone not originally from Maine. But don’t worry. We forgive you. Really, we do. In fact, we’d love to help.

This delightfully cheeky little guide promises to educate visitors, transplants, wary guests, and even the local wildlife on the finer points of life in the Pine Tree State. You’ll find pages devoted to Maine culture, attractions, animals, plants, history, and of course, the lingo. (Because nothing says “from away” like mispronouncing a few coastal town names.)

Okay, okay. Here’s the honest truth.

This book is mostly a glorious collection of humorous drawings, silly cartoons, and gloriously made-up stories that will absolutely make you laugh. If you happen to learn something along the way? Well, that’s on you.

But we stand behind our claim, 100%: this book will make your visit to Vacationland more fun. It’s the perfect companion for a rainy afternoon, a long ferry ride, or a lazy hour spent lingering on the porch with the salt air drifting in.

It makes a wonderful gift for the newcomer in your life, the friend planning their first trip up the coast, or anyone who appreciates a good chuckle. And here’s a little secret we’ll let slip: the natives love it just as much.

Tuck a copy into your bag before you stroll the Marginal Way. Trust us, you’ll want this one on your shelf.
