Arriving in Maine
25. Oktober 2000
Format:Taschenbuch
At last! A wonderful resource book has been written that I intend to hand out to my customers and friends who are considering relocating their lives here. This guide tackels all the nut and bolts (see chapter 5 - Settling In) that most guides wouldn't bother with as they are geared to having fun in the state not living here. And thank you Victoria for a chapter on the Maine = Siberia weather myth that we locals are CONSTANTLY engaged in with those "from away"! I think I'll just hand them the book next time the "how are the winters?" question is asked. This is a well organized book that deals with the likes of taxes,getting your car registered, buying a house,education,cultural events,geographical descriptions and much,much more. It will be my companion playing Maine trivial pursuit while waiting for the kids to finish their ballet lessons. PS; it is a fun read!

Not the "essential guide" promised
13. Juni 2004
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
As someone doing serious searching as to where to move in New England, I expected more from this book's title as it had promised. Too often, I found the information too general and not specific. For example, coming from "the highest car insurance rates in the country" NJ, I wanted to know how Maine's insurance costs ranked as a basic cost of living. Insurance costs -- auto or health -- were not discussed. Duh! Real estate? How about housing costs by county or community? Not in this book. What are average utility costs? What are Maine winters really like? In brief, you will not find the serious information in this book you need to make an informed decision about moving to Maine. Frankly, I'm having a hard time locating any definitive guidebook about living in Maine -- what about the subject of reliable heating -- what do residents do when power goes out? -- and will likely have to do my own laborous search through various sources -- to pull together all information I need. I really tire of purchasing books that don't deliver on their titles. This title -- does not deliver.

I don't "get" this book........
21. April 2005
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
It's crammed full of facts & figures, but like one reviewer mentioned, there is no discussion of Medical Insurance rates or plans--something hugely important to a lot of Americans these days. I should mention I've made several house-hunting trips to Maine myself. I was hoping this book this book would "fill in the gaps" for me; but I don't think it even really covers a lot of what I already knew. Besides all the dry statistics, there are testamonials from people who've moved to Maine, & by Gosh, every single one of them absolutely loves it(!). You think there might be one or two people who ever DIDN'T enjoy living in Maine? Not according to this book.
Her other book, Where to Retire in Maine, is somewhat more useful than this IMO; I'd probably give it 3 stars (altho it didn't even cover some of the nicest areas near Portland). I've also ordered the "Moon Handbooks: Maine 2 Ed": often good travel guidebooks can provide tons more useful information about places than some of the "moving to..." books.
