In this new collection of short essays Maine humor icon Tim Sample shares some of the quirkier aspects of growing up and living in Maine. Along the way he offers readers a behind the scenes glimpse into his long career in the entertainment business.

His wide range of subjects includes things that could happen ¿Only in Maine,¿ how his dad invented the SUV, a ¿magical¿ luncheon with horror master Stephen King, and the pitfalls of Maine¿s fifth season (mud). Born and raised in Maine, Tim shows us the Maine we know and love¿warts and all.
