The perfect coffee table book

What a beautiful way to see America! This book has it all. From the fall colors of New England to the majestic mountains to the small towns in every state. Hiroji doesn't just focus on the scenery but includes the faces of America in his book. From a local town meeting to an air show to automobile workers. Whenever I show this book to my friends, they are so mesmorized by the photographs that I've had to loan it out a few times. And I love hearing their stories of places they've been when they see it in the book. They are most surprised when they see me in the book! I'm in photograph 16 teaching computers to kids at a computer camp. But don't let that influence your decision to purchase this book. It should be on every coffee table in every house or business!
