We're lucky to get an exclusive preview of a map that Colson did for the book. It pinpoints the highlights of Benji's Sag Harbor.

Wow! This map is absolutely fantastic. This will definitely help me to visualize Sag Harbor as I read. What a terrific addition to the book. I especially love the little details such as the "first fight" location included on the map. 

Thank you!

Thanks for posting this, Maria  =)

Perfect, this map is perfect.  It is helpful in that it marks the various subdivisions like Azurest and Ninevah.  Oh! and look, that's where Jonni Waffle is located - thanks for posting this map, it's great.

Fantastic! I hope this ends up in the published copy of the book. Its really helpful to have a visual to go along with the references.

Thanks Maria,

It always helps to visualize where your reading about ;-)

As I was reading the other night, I was wishing I could look at a map of Sag Harbor.  Lo and behold!  Thanks so much!  I agree that this would be a wonderful addition to the published book.

This would be fantastic at the end of the book!  I usually try to visualize what the setting is like, just as I do with the characters.

The map is great, thanks for posting the copy (and the link to the bigger copy).

What a marvelous map... it grounds the story within such amazingly detailed specifics... I love the details...

"Found 2 bucks here once."

"The Old House, Beware!"

"To East Hampton, the Atlantic Ocean and Europe." 

Its a bit like a treasure map.

This map is awesome! I've never been to Sag Harbor, so I was wishing for a map like this while I was reading the book. Very cool!

[Deltadawn]

Yes, thank you very much for posting the map!

Great map...helps to "see" things and places and events better.  I agree it would be nice if it came with the book.

[pigwidgeon]

Excellent map! Will this be included in the final publication? Definitely a great resource

[blkeyesuzi]

I love the map! "found 2 bucks here once" "the truck with the confederate flag".... all the places we're reading about.  Definitely a keeper for the book.  It's like something a tween boy would have put together for a keepsake or something and it certainly helps me visualize a place I've never been to. 

I am really enjoying this book.

I've been traveling a bit so this book has become my airplane read. I wish I had seen this map before I left town.  I would have printed it and kept the copy with my notepaper! Nice!

I love the map! Glad we got a chance to see all the places we were reading about. I printed off a copy and stuck it in the pages of my book for future reference!
