A place free of traffic lights and blaring commercial come-ons. A place whose rich historical heritage is visible everywhere--from the antiques-shop windows filled with handmade baskets and scrimshawed ivories to the spare, shingle-clad houses that coexist harmoniously with the surrounding land- and seascapes. Imagine a place designed, by man and nature, to relax and restore you. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Nantucket Island is that place. Thirty miles off Cape Cod, Nantucket is both geographically isolated and--as an internationally regarded vacation resort--culturally sophisticated. Nantucketers are rightly proud of a manner of living that couples the casual comforts of small-town life with an urbane sense of glamour, taste, and style. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Nantucket: Island Living features more than 200 color photos that document the other attractions--panoramic views, home-grown handicrafts, seasonal celebrations--that make Nantucket such a rewarding place to spend a day, a summer, or a lifetime. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLeslie Linsley\u003c\/b\u003e has written more than 50 books on style, architecture, and American crafts, most recently \u003ci\u003eKey West: A Tropical Lifestyle\u003c\/i\u003e with Terry Pommett.
