Author Talk: Connecticut 169 Club

The Connecticut 169 Club: Your Passport and Guide to Exploring Connecticut­, Marty Podskoch's latest travel guidebook, takes readers off the interstate and onto Connecticut backroads to find cool curiosities tucked into the 169 towns and cities in the Nutmeg State. As he traveled throughout the state, Podskoch marveled at the great diversity of villages, cities, rivers, lakes, mountains, and seashores. He realized that most of the residents of the state had not traveled as widely as he had and he wanted to help them explore his beautiful state.     He created this book to be a guide and a passport, asking someone from every town to write a short description highlighting their town’s location, history, and interesting places to visit.
