Robert Frost's New England
Source: Amazon
Author: Betsy Melvin, Tom Melvin, and Robert Frost
State: VT
- From an Amazon reader: "This book elegantly pairs Frost's poems with corresponding photos. Often the poems accompany a two page photo spread. The photography is good, although the image quality on paper isn't fabulous. It's nice to read his poems and have images of New England bring them to life." (2000)

Source: Amazon
Author: John M. Miller (Photographer) and Howard Frank Mosher

Twin Towers Remembered
Source: Amazon
Author: Camilo Jose Vergara
City: New York, State: NY

An Eye for the Coast : The Maritime and Monhegan Island Photographs of Eric Hudson
Source: Amazon.com
Author: Eric Hudson, W. H. Bunting, and Earle G. Shettleworth, Jr.
City: Monhegan, State: ME
- "Unless you reach for the Dramamine at the first mention of salt water, the maritime photographs of Elmer Forest ("Eric") Hudson (1862-1932) will hit you like an onshore breeze on a summer shore. ... The prints are all velvety grays and blacks of a kind impossible to coax from thirty-five millimeter film, and the extensive captions comprise histories of Monhegan, the nineteenth-century seaborne trade in fish, salt, ice, lumber, and molasses, and finally, the great diversity of wooden boats involved." --Antiques magazine (1998)
