Insiders' Guide to the Maine Coast, 2nd (Insiders' Guide Series)

This book is organized not by area, but by sections on restaurants, accommodations, attractions, etc. As someone who is unfamiliar with the different towns in Maine, I had to consult the map each time I wanted to know where a particular attraction is located. I personally am more interested in a book organized by geographical area. It also pretty much entirely skips over the Blue Hill Peninsula, aside from a few paragraphs describing it. It offered no info on what to find there as far as places to stay, etc.

When we got a sailboat everybody told us we had to get this book. We did, and they were right. It is obviously written by somebody who actually sails the Maine coast. It is so easy to use and practical.

INSIDERS' GUIDE TO THE MAINE COAST, 2ND EDITION is a great guide to the entire coast of Maine. It's also the perfect companion to INSIDERS' GUIDE TO PORTLAND, MAINE, and like the former book, contains descriptions of the Maine Mall and Bull Moose Music, both places where a guy can buy music to ask his girlfriend for a dance to and thus keep her happy. Like its Portland companion, this book provides other ideas on how a guy can keep his woman happy, such as numerous hiking, swimming, cycling, and boating areas where he can get in shape for her. Overall, you need to get this book and INSIDERS' GUIDE TO PORTLAND, MAINE together, along with the Fodor's and Frommer's guides to the Maine Coast- preferably all at once.
