Book Overview
Carly Simon and James Taylor have written songs about it while others have written books about it. As much a state of mind as a place, Martha's Vineyard holds an allure both for its residents - celebrities such as Simon, Jackie Onassis - and the countless tourists who visit the island every year. This book looks at the island, the sweeping lawns, split-level fences and stone walls leading to the island's elegant homes and gardens. In the tradition of Nantucket the book reveals the Vineyard in all its glory - the residences of the 19th-century whaling captains, West Chop's shingle-style houses, lush gardens, rooms full of antiques, cabanas on the beach and Vinyard farms.

Martha's Vineyard Houses and Gardens
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This was the most beautifully written and photgraphed decorating book I have seen. I own dozens of such books, and I seldom read all of the text, but I read this one from cover to cover. It made me want to lounge in the gardens and explore the house. I highly recommend this book for lovers of home decorating and gardening books. It is exquisitely warm and funny!
