X2 on the Nova Scotia Doers & Dreamers Travel Guide. You should also order the free Provincial Travel Guides for New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.
FYI, when we went up there in 2008, we crossed the border at Calais, Maine/St. Stephen, New Brunswick. There was a visitor center with good info in St. Stephen a short distance after the crossing. There was also a visitor center in Amherst just after crossing the border into Nova Scotia.
In addition to the suggestions above, I would add Hopewell Rocks. Stay for several hours to experience the amazing tidal range.
On Cape Breton Island, Fortress Lousibourg is a must see.
