With over 525 color plates, this is the most comprehensive book on Nantucket ever published. All aspects of the island are included-its history, architectural treasures, beaches, sailboats, artists, open spaces, and gardens. There are over 220 photographs of private homes and secret gardens, plus over 70 photographs of antique and classic cars.

The New York Times says Gambee's photographs speak magic, and the captions contain a rich trove of information on the history and present of this fabled island.
