Your Maine Lands: Reflections of a Maine Guide
Tom Hanrahan isn't only one of Maine's premier outdoor writers, he s one of Maine's outstanding writers, period ... In this newly released gem, Tom explores millions of acres of Maine s public lands ... You find yourself heading to the door to see for yourself if you read long enough. --Matt Dunlap, Northwoods Sporting JournalMajestic ... Equal parts field journal, safety handbook, advice column and spiritual guide ... Brevity at its absolute peak ... He's written about the nearby sporting camps, about the tremendous hunting and fishing, about the mountain climbs that are out there, about how to survive a night (or several), about the myriad ways there are to enjoy Maine. --Travis Barrett, Kennebec JournalSimply put he knows how to tell a tale and this book is full of them. Instead of using a more antiseptic guidebook format, Hanrahan treats Maine's public lands as his own personal playground, and invites the reader along for the ride. Hanrahan takes readers up north and Down East, and to all kinds of places in between. And when you're curled up in front of a roaring fire, planning your next day's excursion, you couldn't ask for better company than Hanrahan's book. ----John Holyoke, Bangor Daily NewsA wonderful read for people who enjoy the outdoors! --Bill Green, Bill Green's Maine, WCSH-TVIt's definitely on my list of good Maine books ... Part guidebook and part storytelling ... You can read it in an evening and you'll re-read the next evening. --Doug Rafferty, WGME-TV
