THE DOWNEAST DILETTANTE
Tales & Strong Opinions,From Maine,
Regarding Architecture, Art, Books, Design, Landscape, & Other Whims
Brad Emerson writes the blog THE DOWNEAST DILETTANTE, a whale of a read, a real delight . I call him the Downeast Dilettante Design Detective. There is often a mystery to solve, unravel .

That he is going to be gracing their pages regularly is something to celebrate.
