The InsiderÕs Guide to MarthaÕs Vineyard is an admittedly spotty, clearly biased, erratically researched and often ill-conceived manual on how to be a true Islander from the wry pen of P. D. Murray. With such important advice as how to avoid the perils of deer ticks and poets, why bumper stickers are so critical to Island life, and where to find opalescent shad lures or a pirate eye patch, this guide is bound to pay for itself in seconds flat. Barring that, it may turn out to be mildy entertaining.
