SynopsisImagine a place of unspoiled beaches, windswept dunes, and dramatic natural beauty. A place free of traffic lights and blaring commercial come-ons. A place whose rich historical heritage is visible everywhere--from the antiques-shop windows filled with handmade baskets and scrimshawed ivories to the spare, shingle-clad houses that coexist harmoniously with the surrounding land- and seascapes. Imagine a place designed, by man and nature, to relax and restore you. Nantucket Island is that place. Thirty miles off Cape Cod, Nantucket is both geographically isolated and--as an internationally regarded vacation resort--culturally sophisticated. Nantucketers are rightly proud of a manner of living that couples the casual comforts of small-town life with an urbane sense of glamour, taste, and style. In this handsomely illustrated book, longtime Nantucket residents Leslie Linsley and Terry Pommett give you an insider's look at the on-island lifestyle: the restored historic homes of Nantucket town and 'Sconset village, the appealingly humble beachfront cottages that dot the island's shoreline, and the beautifully tended gardens--formal and informal--that grace Nantucket's private houses and public buildings. More than 200 color photos document the other attractions--panoramic views, home-grown handicrafts, seasonal celebrations --that make Nantucket such a rewarding place to spend a day, a summer, or a lifetim, In this handsomely illustrated book, longtime Nantucket residents Leslie Linsley and Terry Pommett give you an insider's look at the on-island lifestyle: the restored historic homes of Nantucket town and 'Sconset Village, the appealingly humble beachfront cottages that dot the island's shoreline, and the beautifully tended gardens--formal and informal--that grace Nantucket's private houses and public buildings.

Lovely Nantucket coffee table book!
On our third trip to Nantucket, we happened to need directions to find a house of a distant relative. We were in the vicinity but did not recall what the house looked like from a previous visit many years earlier. We asked a nice lady, who happened to be in her yard, for assistance. Turns out she was a neighbor to our relatives and pointed out the house they had lived in, but that they had since moved. She knew them well and told us much about them. Turns out we were visiting with Leslie Linsley, the author of this book! She spent time telling us about Nantucket and her various picture books. This large coffee table book was too large for me to buy on the island and transport home, so I looked it up on eBay and got a good deal on a new book. Every time I look at it, it reminds me of one of my favorite places. Lovely pictures and lots of info about the history of Nantucket.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
