New England, with so many things to see and do in a small space, is perfect for this! Here's a great way to dream about and decide on your New England adventures: veteran travel writer Steve Jermanok's new book, New England in a Nutshell. With 50 categories and 300 things to see and do in New England, the book (paper or e-book) is a virtual encyclopedia of the region's destinations and delights.
