review: Editorial Reviews From the Author When I learned that no one had ever written a guidebook of this kind for the Finger Lakes, I was determined to do it and do it right. I come from the area and I love it. So after 2 years driving around the region, a new set of tires, and help from a great many people, The Finger Lakes Book became a reality. I personally visiting countless shops, inns, restaurants, museums and many many other places. I talked to historians, attended a Native American festival and talked with the chief to better understand the influence of the Iroquois nation on the region. I checked out rooms in hotels and B&Bs, ate in a number of restaurants, tasted wines from several vineyards, hiked and biked on severl trails, and even noted the best places to take photos. All these things are in my book. It is my hope you will find it interesting as well as helpful as you discover this wonderful, unspoiled place.
