It’s a well-known fact that New England weather changes every five minutes. What most people don’t know, however, is how to plan these changes without the aid of an often-wrong weatherman. What if you could read and predict the weather yourself? Your grandparents and great-grandparents could do it – why not you? 
Yankee Weather Proverbs is a collection of some of the best and most reliable weather predictors there are. Common sense, awareness of the landscape, and memorable rhymes are all you need to predict the weather – the same way generations of Yankees have done it. Couple that with gorgeous depictions of the Yankee landscape, and you’ve got a classic book of timeless resources and pleasures. 
More than 125 proverbs and 35 color illustrations by Vermont artist Daryl V. Storrs are contained in this pocket-sized compendium. It’s a great gift, a trustworthy travel companion, and an indispensable book for Yankees and non-Yankees alike.

This book of essays on 40 years of hunting and fishing, is humorous and quirky. The prose is as bracing as an autumn day in the uplands, as relaxing as a fireside chair. In these irrestible pages, Ted Ross sweeps us along the paths and trails of days afield filled with gallant dogs, whirring wings, and promising rivers. And he does it in only the way this eccentric sportsman can. It's damn good writing and the way hunting tales should be told.

Author and photographer Peter Miller, best known for the classics Vermont People and Vermont Farm Women, has now completed his trilogy of books with the November release of Vermont Gathering Places. The book is a collection of 38 stories that highlight the places in the state where Vermonters gather to meet, discuss their towns, and keep the small-town traditions of the state thriving. The stories in Vermont Gathering Places are as varied as the counties and towns themselves. 185 duotone photographs accompany stories that include the Brookfield Ice Harvest, the Brattleboro Farmers’ Market, Moretown Town Meeting, Pawlet Community Church Supper, Fiddlers’ Breakfast at the Bobbin Mill Restaurant in Westfield, Barre’s Thunder Road, and the Fairbanks Museum in St. Johnsbury. In addition to individual stories, Miller has included large spreads of country stores and parades scattered throughout the state. Vermont Gathering Places is a book for all Vermonters, and it comes alive with the interviews and portraits that define Peter Miller’s work and have made his books Vermont People and Vermont Farm Women so popular.
