The Vermont Owner’s Manual

Frank Bryan and Bill Mares, illustrated by Jeff Danziger

From the best-selling authors of Real Vermonters Don’t Milk Goats comes another sideways, tongue-in-cheek look at life in Vermont.

Of course, as always, they skewer sacred cows and make us laugh along the way.

There's something for everyone here, including lots of fun for the whole family.
