Hardcover. Colbyville VT, Silver Print Press, 1st, 2005, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a right dust jacket. INSCRIBED BY MILLER on the half-title page. Author and photographer Peter Miller, best known for the classics Vermont People and Vermont Farm Women, has now completed his trilogy of books with the November release of Vermont Gathering Places. The book is a collection of 38 stories that highlight the places in the state where Vermonters gather to meet, discuss their towns, and keep the small-town traditions of the state thriving. The stories in Vermont Gathering Places are as varied as the counties and towns themselves. 185 duotone photographs accompany stories that include the Brookfield Ice Harvest, the Brattleboro Farmers' Market, Moretown Town Meeting, Pawlet Community Church Supper, Fiddlers' Breakfast at the Bobbin Mill Restaurant in Westfield, Barre's Thunder Road, and the Fairbanks Museum in St. Johnsbury. In addition to individual stories, Miller has included large spreads of country stores and parades scattered throughout the state. Vermont Gathering Places is a book for all Vermonters, and it comes alive with the interviews and portraits that define Peter Miller's work and have made his books Vermont People and Vermont Farm Women so popular.
