Author: Linsley, Leslie

Condition: Used

In this handsomely illustrated book, longtime Nantucket residents Leslie Linsley and Terry Pommett give you an insiders look at the on-island lifestyle: the restored historic homes of Nantucket town and Sconset Village, the appealingly humble beachfront cottages that dot the islands shoreline, and the beautifully tended gardens-formal and informal-that grace Nantuckets private houses and public buildings.Imagine 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.Nantucket: Island Living features more than 200 color photos that 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 lifetime.
