(Was ist das?)
This book includes Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. It has 53 themed Itineraries and 1012 local places to see. The trips are planned for you and tells how many hours it takes for each one and where to stay, where to eat, and the most interesting things to see on that trip.
For instance, if you like lighthouses there is a trip called 60 lighthouses in 60 hours. You cover a distance of 375 miles and start in Kittery (just over border from New Hampshire) and end up in Calais. There is footnotes of interest too; like on this one it says that only a few man made things can be seen from space but evidently Nubble Lighthouse in York can be seen.
If you are into architecture, there is a trip that includes Cape Cod and Nantucket. It takes 3 days and covers 150 miles and starts in Sandwich and ends in Truro.
There are Food Trips, Fall Foliage tours, coastal trips, Book Hunting in Pioneer Valley, Cape Ann Curiosities, trips to offbeat Vermont, arts and galleries, hiking trips....all kinds of trips for whatever your interest might be.
A really interesting tour book! Easy to read and great to plan by.

Odd little corners and big cities

When this one came up, it certainly struck me as an interesting choice -- I am a New Englander, but I've not seen as much of the area as I'd like. That said, I have to put in a good word for this based just on the areas it covers that I know.
As the title shows, this isn't just a travel reference, but a book of itineraries, some fairly short, some rather long and even a little scattershot. Some are themed (food trips, bookstore crawling in central Massachusetts), some are geographic sightseeing tours. All are meant to be self-guided -- you don't buy a Lonely Planet book when you're expecting to be on and off a bus. The book is pervaded with a gentle informality, even going so far as to provide suggested music mixes for each trip, and each chapter is summed up with things to do, places to eat, and sights to see.
There isn't a whole lot to say about travel books; either they're good or they're bad. This is definitely a good one.

Too many trips, too many stops, too many miles, not enough good info
21. Mai 2009
Format:Taschenbuch|Amazon Vine™ Rezension
(Was ist das?)
I've lived in three New England states and traveled extensively. I'm always looking for new ideas, and we get lots of visitors so we keep a stack of guidebooks handy. Lonely Planet's New England Trips is one guidebook I won't be suggesting anyone take with them.
It's not just that the information is really uneven. Too many of the places mentioned aren't worth a detour to get to, and too many places worth a stop aren't mentioned. That's especially disappointing after the amazing places around the world that other Lonely Planet guides have taken me.
And it's not just that the information on any given attraction, restaurant or hotel is too brief to even figure out if it's someplace you want to go.
No, it's more than that. The idea of a book of "53 Themed Itineraries" with "1012 Local Places to See" turns out to be a really bad one. Maybe there are people who are interested visiting just sites related to "Pilgrims & Puritans" (Trip 16), and are willing to drive 269 miles just visiting sites on that theme. And who don't mind driving right past all kinds of fantastic places on the way ("No, Marge, we've already been through this, it's gotta be Pilgrims & Puritans, or we keep on driving ... "). Both of those people should probably buy this book. Everyone else should avoid it, because you really want to spend less time driving and more time sightseeing, eating, shopping or ... anything but deciphering guidebooks and driving.
Part of the problem is that 53 trips is way too many to try to cram into the book. They should have cut way down on the number of trips, and had more information about fewer itineraries. And created itineraries filled with really worthwhile stops, rather than the hodgepodge they ended up with to get to 53 and 1012.
They should also have expanded the arbitrary definitions of themed trips to explore one area more, and do it more effectively. (Really, even on the Vermont Ramble, it would be OK to drive the hundred yards across the river into New Hampshire to see some amazing things.) Follow this book and they'll have you circling New England for months, and driving thousands of miles.
Yes, thousands of miles. I did a quick tally of the mileage for their itineraries - about 8,000 miles. Sounds like good times, doesn't it?
Maybe this book is just meant to be for armchair travelers, dreaming about journeys they might take. Other than that, I'm not sure who they imagine would use and enjoy this book. First time visitors would get a bum steer from this book, and have to spend way too much time figuring out how to use it. Locals would have to comb through the book to find what they're looking for. Maybe it's meant as some kind of genius revenge on New Yorkers headed north ...
