Great book for touists

When travelling I like to have a good history of the places we are visiting. My wife and recently spent 2 weeks driving around Newfoundland and I found "As near to heaven as by sea" the perfect historic supplement. The book is well written and very lively with just the right amount of detail. It is written by someone who has a real love of the Province and gives you an understanding of what makes Newfoundland the place it is today. Also if you go to Newfoundland be sure to check out the EAST COAST TRAIL it is not well publized and not well traveled but it is great for 2-5 days hiking.
