"A Walk Around Nantucket" is a stunning coloring book for adults created by Scott Widmeyer and Alan Yount and illustrated by local artist Paul McCarthy from Nantucket Carving and Folkart.
A 54 page book that includes 19 iconic scenes from around Nantucket (the three lighthouses, a typical Sconset cottage, the Crooked House in Madaket, the Windmill, and many others). And the pièce de résistance with the Nantucket coloring book is that it will include 16 post cards with exquisite Nantucket scenes also ready for coloring. “Our book is of, by, and for Nantucket, and we are so excited to share it with the community,” noted Widmeyer and Yount.
Adult coloring books have become a popular way to relieve stress and calm down in our digital world of instant gratification. We hope that A Walk Around Nantucket will help visitors and residents alike tap into their inner artist, slow down, and see the island in a new way. The postcards included at the end of the book will let you send your vision out to your friends, opening their eyes to our beautiful little island. So, sit down, turn your phones and computers off, and take “a walk around Nantucket” with your colored pencils, markers, watercolors, or any other medium.
Some of the creator's proceeds from the sales of the Nantucket Coloring Book will go back to the Island's Indepdendent Bookstores Mitchell's + Bookworks!

Muskeget: Raw, Restless, Relentless Island New + Revised Edition (2020)
This new, updated and freshly-revised edition of the original MUSKEGET leads us once again into that pristine, raw and restless Nantucket island populated by an amalgam of different species, shore birds and mammals, where overpopulated gray seals fight for island dominance, their relentless presence not only damaging rare flora and fauna, but also attracting the ever-dangerous and much-hyped threat of killer sharks surrounding Cape and island waters, imperiling both themselves and humans.It is a different journey into Muskeget this time. This new edition highlights the island's stark future, as relentless climate forces aggravate its declining natural beauty. The rugged pounding of insistent winds, tides and currents, compounded by sea rise, are regularly androughly repurposing the island’s topography -- and it is just a matter of time before the island loses its unique identity forever. Currently, new challenges lurk, not only in climate-erosion along the coast, but in the aggressively-changing and restless world of nature itself, and, as the island succumbs to its own disquieting natural forces, we see it gasping for its own identity in the face of diminishing grace. A new final chapter, “Back to the Future,” features brief essays by six notable island visitors: Nantucket naturalist Peter Brace, oceanographer Dick Limeburner, seal biologist Kimberly Murray, cartographer Dana Gaines, island scalloper Carl Sjoluna and the author -- illuminating their views on predicting how the tiny island's dynamic change may be altered over the next thirty years, or by 2050, in its daily battle against nature's forces. Fresh insights and updates, added to each chapter from the original book, offer perception into new photographs, maps, charts and artwork gleaned from scientists, current research sources, local conservation and land overseers -- as well as vibrant illustrations and photographs from the author's personal and family collection, all illustrating the author's keen observations and remarks.“It’s an unsullied, untamed and very fragile, magical land,” says Snow. “I felt compelled to record its race against time."The author, Crocker Snow Jr., Muskeget Island steward & property owner, knows the island more intimately than anyone alive.
