NANTUCKET - LESLIE LINSLEY GEBUNDEN

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. In this
handsomely illustrated book  longtime Nantucket residents Leslie Linsley and Terry Pommett give
you an insider's look at the on-island lifestyle: the restored historic homes of Nantucket town
and 'Sconset village  the appealingly humble beachfront cottages that dot the island's
shoreline  and the beautifully tended gardens—formal and informal—that grace Nantucket's
private houses and public buildings. More than 200 color photos 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 lifetim
