Very interesting, quick read about many of the historic graveyards in New England. Each one- to two-page description includes a profile of some notable person or impressive marker contained in the graveyard.

I'll be mailing this to ateehee as part of a mail trade.

The descriptions of the cemeteries are brief and at first it annoyed me that there wasn't more detail. Then I realized I was reading this book incorrectly. It isn't a story book filled with anecdotes about the memorials, it is a travel book meant to entice you into touring these cemeteries yourself. It does that very well! I definitely want to visit most of the graveyards listed. With that in mind, I appreciated the authors lack of detail, for if the book showed me all the sites, why would I want to go and see for myself? I really liked the list at the end that explained the meanings of common symbols on gravestones. This is a good book for anyone interested in cemeteries and graves.

I will take it to the meet up tonight, but if no one wants it, I will bring it home and find a proper release spot for it...

We're moving so I'm boxing up all the books. Since I've read this, I'll find an appropriate release spot...

Picked this up at the local Bookcrossing monthly meeting last night.
