The New Hampshire Century: Concord Monitor Profiles of One Hundred People Who Shaped It

Rating:
Summary: Entertaining treasure-trove
Review: I was somewhat wary of this book at first, as I had read some of Mike Pride's articles in Brill's Content, which I found rather offensive, as he uses extraordinarily patronizing language when discussing women's issues, and his clumsy style inspires very little confidence (one notrious example, which prompted letters to the magazine, asked why he would publish a "humourous" letter suggesting that Indian women somehow "serviced" Bill Clinton - a low class joke, and one made at the expense of women of color.)
Fortunately for readers of this compilation, there are a great number of colorful and note-worthy folks in the wee-small but beautiful state of New Hampshire. The book is especially nice for coffee-table browsing.
