S. Co Steamship via Rockland and Southwest Harbor, or by taking a rail to Seal Harbor and riding the Steamer Islesford.The booklet uses three sentences to describe Islesford -- the first explains the relationship between 'Islesford' and the postal service, the second clarifies the difference between Islesford and Islesboro, and the third discusses boating & fishing activities.

Small vertically flipped booklet attached by a staple, apparently stapled through the center of individual vertical sheets
Very Poor 
The print and ink is in good condition, but the staple is rusting and the sheet is damaged and delicate at the folding point. The booklet must be opened extremely carefully. It is only a matter of time before the pages separate.
