Our New Books
	Hiking Mount Desert Island \| Long on information, but small enough to be tucked into a day pack, this pocket guide is the perfect companion for a trip to Acadia.
	Eric Hopkins \| From his earliest work with glass to the stunning aerial panoramas of Maine islands that have gained him far-reaching fame, Eric Hopkins has consistently explored boundaries—of medium, of space, of vision.
	Interventions \| Four individually bound stories presented in a lovely slipcase.
	Wild Fox \| This is Cherie Mason’s touching story of how she befriended a wild creature, knowing that his instincts would soon lead him away forever. Suffused with gentle wonder, Wild Fox speaks to the deep human longing to span the gulf between species.
