[Quigley] lands at the core of what makes Maine . . . Maine. . . .  Explore the state through this intimate lens that gives us a look into Mainers’ homes. See what lessons have come from generations of living with the land and seasons. And in the pages, learn some of these lessons yourself by trying your hand at their tips, tricks, and small projects.”
