71.2 | It's in the mail ;^) | SALEM::JWILSON | | Mon Jul 11 1988 18:03 | 5 |
| In response to Sandy's query - I ordered it on the day after .0
appeared. I *STILL* haven't received it! When I do, I will be
happy to fill everyone in on MY impressions.

71.3 | | CADSE::WONG | Le Chinois Fou | Tue Aug 02 1988 22:35 | 13 |
| I just got my copy of the New England Sites Guide.
What I got in the mail appeared to be a photo-copied version
of something that was printed from a laser printer, after being
put together by a type-setter or word-processor. It's like some of
the output from DOCUMENT.
It includes maps of the major public nudist areas which is very
good, but I was expecting something in a book form. It's just a
bunch of stapled sheets of paper.
Information? The information looks very good...on par with the
World Guide. No pictures. :-)

71.4 | Pretty good | MOIRA::FAIMAN | light upon the figured leaf | Thu Jun 15 1989 12:58 | 19 |
| I just received the 1989 version. The cost is now $12.50 (or free with a
contribution of $25 or more to the NENA legal fund).
As Ben noted in .3, it is best described as a pamphlet, apparently computer
type-set and photo-copied. The information is quite comprehensive. (I know
of a few New England sites that aren't listed here, but only a few.) They've
collected information from all over. If you have the _World Guide_, the last
five years of _CwS_ and _The Event_, and a complete set of _Barefoot_ and
_Clothing Optional Life_, you won't get much out of this ... but even then
you'll probably find somethng new.
They do a good job of indicating site status, too: which ones are established
sites, and which ones are random swimming holes where someone went skinny-
dipping once.
I would recommend it to anyone who lives in New England and is interested in
looking around for new sites to visit.

71.5 | 1988 vs. 1989?? | SALEM::JWILSON | Trample Lightly on the Earth | Thu Jun 15 1989 14:52 | 15 |
| Neil, Do you know if the 1989 version is different from the 1988?
The places I checked out in the '88 edition were as represented,
and the directions were quite accurate. (Two of the sites were
within 15 miles of where I grew up in Southern Connecticut, which
I found pleasantly surprising!)
I would be happy to provide, upon request, information relative
to the "Closest site to ..." but would strongly recommend readers
purchase a copy of the guide. It's a good cause, and you may be
as surprised as I was about the number and locations of C/O swimming
areas.
Hoping for sunnier weekends,
Jack
