A reader question: Fiction or Non-Fiction?

 A "reader" question:

Dear Editor,

As an avid reader I found “Reader Question: What Books Belong in the Old New England Family House?” very interesting.  I was wondering what type of book most people read: fiction or non-fiction?  I had a neighbor who read biographies of all past American presidents.  I read non-fiction.  Maybe that has to do with my upbringing because my dad always read books about the American Civil War.

Thank you,

Is Nantucket worth visiting in November? (r)

A reader question:

Hey SWNE friends -

The girls and I are thinking about an off season (November) jaunt to Nantucket in search of quiet relaxation and seafood.  Any thoughts - pros or cons - about visiting at that time of year?   

Thanks!

 

Lobster Ropes Never Looked So Good - Mats and More from Maine Rope Mats, Made in Maine

Photos by Salt Water New England

Back when they first started making their mats, I visited Maine Rope Mats at their facility on the Maine Coast, right after a very satisfying breakfast at Moody's Diner, if I remember correctly.   (And having watched a moose across the street, while finishing up our breakfast.)   Fast forward to today, and their mats, baskets, and accessories today can be spotted everywhere, including throughout the Sea Bags' many stores.

Tough as nails and available in an array of vibrant colors, as well as more subdued hues, everything is still Made in Maine.
