Sam the State Guy

Terms

Last updated 17 August 2026

By using samstateguy.com or buying All 50 States: Hidden Gems and Tourist Traps, you agree to what follows.

What you are buying

A digital book delivered as a PDF file. There is no physical product and nothing is shipped. The First Edition covers Region One — New England in full (Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut) at ten recommended towns and five to avoid per state, together with the judging framework, the Road Ledger workbook and the four-minute checking routine. The scope is described on the sales page and in the FAQ before you buy.

Delivery and payment

Orders are processed by Gumroad, and Gumroad's own terms apply to the transaction. The download link is provided at checkout and by email. If a download does not arrive or does not open, write to hello@samstateguy.com and it will be sorted out.

Licence and copyright

The book is © 2026 Sam the State Guy. Buying it gives you a personal, non-transferable licence to read it and to print copies for your own use — including printing the Road Ledger page as often as you like. It does not allow you to redistribute the file, resell it, upload it to a file-sharing service, or reproduce substantial parts of it publicly without written permission.

Travel content — read this one

This book is a travel reference and an opinion. Every judgment in it is the author's own view of a place at the time of writing. Prices, hours, seasons, ferry schedules, road closures, permit rules and business ownership all change, and they change faster than any book can — verify before you drive. Appendix B exists for exactly that purpose.

Nothing in the book or on this site is legal, financial, tax, medical or real-estate advice. Where a place carries a real hazard — tides, altitude, heat, water, a remote road, a cell dead zone — it is named in the entry, but you are responsible for your own preparation and for following posted rules, closures and local guidance. Access to private land is at the owner's discretion. Respect tribal lands and follow the posted rules of every nation whose ground you cross.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the author and publisher are not liable for loss, cost or injury arising from decisions made on the basis of the book. You travel at your own risk and on your own judgment.

The site itself

The site is provided as it is. It may be changed, updated or taken offline at any time, and prices may change — the launch price is a promotional price and is not a permanent one.
