Maine & New England Books

At the beginning of June 2011, we'll be releasing L. L. Bean—The Man and His Company, by James L. Witherell. L.L. Bean, Inc., will be celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2012, and Witherell's complete history of this iconic Maine company is full of good storytelling, fascinating detail, and some surprises.

Our Maine & New England booklist contains a lot of variety, from Eva Murray's recent Well Out to Sea, about life on Matinicus Island 20 miles offshore, to Neil Rolde's political thriller, O. Murray Carr, to the beautiful Drawing Toward Home: Designs for Domestic Architecture from Historic New England.
