Add to my lists | Print this list

One Hundred distinguished books that reveal the history of the state of Maine and its people. The idea for the list of Top 100 Maine books came from the Baxter Society, the state’s only bibliophilic organization. It covers four centuries and all genres, from novels to histories.

Just back from a trip home to my native Maine... — 2 years ago

…and I went book shopping. I scored copies of We Took to the Woods and The Beans of Egypt, Maine. It can be difficult to find most of these books in far away California, and I don’t particularly want to buy them all online, so this list is taking a while.
