Whether you’re headed for a summer vacation, a summer staycation or just a few moments’ break in the sun, we’ve got recommendations from local librarians, booksellers and others for books that help you escape. Grab your favorite lounging companion and start finding your next read.
Also on the cover New Hampshire cities and towns are celebrating the country’s big 2-5-0 with fireworks, parades and more. See a roundup of Fourth of July happenings on page 16. And if Independence Day is putting you in a historical (-ish) mood, check out the comedy The Complete History of America (Abridged) at the Winnipesaukee Playhouse through next weekend (see Michael Witthaus’s story on page 15). John also takes a look at the new bakeshop slated to open on Manchester’s West Side and their plans to offer gelato (page 18).
