Book Reviews of New England: A Photographic Tour
Book Review: Falls way short of the mark
Summary: 2 Stars
I expected this book to be filled with beautiful shots of the New England countryside, scenic lighthouses, and historic sites. While there are certainly some fine photos here, there are way too many shots which are nondescript at best. The first twenty pages are devoted to brief history and old b/w photos from the 1890's and this section is enjoyable. Unfortunately its downhill from there. I wasn't looking for photos of the Kennedy birth home, a two page spread of a rusty "junk shop", a full page dedicated to a boat shed and buoys, an oversized photo of a barge on the river, or two pages allocated to a diner in RI. The photography is sharp and colorful and the few photos of the NE countryside and Sturbridge Village are good. Unfortunately the less interesting subjects prevail.
