Discover Maine's most enchanting reading spots through the eyes of 50 fellow book lovers in this large-format photographic celebration that captures the joy, wonder, and benefits of reading. From Governor Janet Mills and Senator Angus King to teachers, firefighters, and college students, Where Maine Reads showcases Mainers of all ages and backgrounds in their perfect reading nooks--porches, boats, hammocks, bars, and yes, even bathtubs. Acclaimed authors like Richard Russo, Monica Wood, and Lily King appear alongside everyday readers, because the love of a cozy reading spot unites us all.
Each portrait tells a story of connection between reader and book, person and place. You'll find yourself nodding along, remembering your own favorite reading corners, and perhaps discovering inspiration for new ones. As Stephen King wrote, I have a favorite place [to read] and probably you do too--a place where the light is good and the vibe is usually strong.
Where Maine Reads features both stunning photography and personal essays that reveal why these special places matter so much to readers. Created by photographer Buddy Doyle in partnership with Maine Public, this joyful collection is more than a coffee table book--it's a love letter to the simple pleasure of getting lost in a good story, wherever you find your perfect spot.
Proceeds support Maine Public's statewide literacy programs, making every purchase a contribution to Maine's reading community.
