The Vermont Difference is available in both hardcover and softcover and is co-published by the Woodstock Foundation and the Vermont Historical Society.
Review - Senator Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., President Pro Tem of the U.S. Senate "There is much that is idyllic and iconic about Vermont and our glorious mountains, hills, lakes, village squares, ski areas and biking trails. Some alpine cultures become insular, but Vermonters are outward looking. We are keenly interested in the wider world.
The Vermont Difference illuminates a fascinating culture that has given rise to ideas and trends, born or incubated here, that by now include organic agriculture, alternative and renewable energy, forest land conservation, the farm-to-school movement, the ethics of corporate social responsibility, artistic expression, and the crusade to ban anti-personnel landmines."
Review - Author Howard Frank Mosher "I know of no other state in America that has such a clear and enduring understanding of its own distinctiveness as Vermont. In eighteen brilliant and original essays by contemporary Vermonters, The Vermont Difference reveals why I've lived in the Green Mountain State for fifty years, but I learned something new and remarkable about Vermont on every page of this wonderful book."

A delightful collection of quotations on books, writing, libraries, publishing, editors, printing, and history.
