American Ruina

The book was well put togetheer and had sites in it that I had not been to and knew very little about. The Photography was good and helped with the written explanations of each site.

American Ruins isn't a ruin

This book is full of great photograghy for the average person. The book is more photos then information. An excellent book though.

great book

saw this book and author on CBS Sunday Morning. Great photos, great book to browse through.

Wonderful!

After viewing the glowing segment on The CBS Morning Show, I had to see this book. AMERICAN RUINS truly deserves the accolades, awards and attention it's receiving. Arthur Drooker's exquisite photographs transport you and his descriptive prose is as elegant and moving as his haunting images. So, thank you, Mr. Drooker for this treasure about our national treasures... and for making my holiday shopping so easy!
