So, You Think You Know Nantucket?

$14.95

Places, People, Folklore, Trivia and Treasures

This book lays out a significant base of knowledge for Nantucket, including famous men and women who have made significant contributions. A section entitled “Do You Know?” tests the reader on their knowledge of some places, and people. The photographs in the book will assess the reader’s knowledge of buildings, places and objects that are commonly seen but not necessarily recognized for what they are, and there is a trivia section that is always fun. There is a section on beaches with special attention paid to the hidden or secret beaches on Nantucket.

The book ends with the “Treasures” of the Nantucket. These are the institutions and places that make Nantucket a remarkable place to visit, live in and work. Melissa has made these determinations herself and realize that others may have a different list, but that is ok. Some are cultural, some are natural, but each contributes to a quality of life that is unique to Nantucket and its places and people who have something distinct and appealing to offer everyone.

  1. Henry Quinlan

    Publisher, Omni Publishing Co.
    “This is a book that contains facts about the people and places of Nantucket, some are well known and others less so, but all contribute to making Nantucket a special place. Add to that, fable and folklore and this book is a good read. A reader may disagree on the “Treasures of Nantucket” but not too strongly. This is a book that will enlighten, entertain, and enrich the reader.”
