Customer Reviews

Page by page captivating beauty

This book is packed full of breath-taking scenery with every page, from front cover to back, presenting exquisite photos of North American treasures. It is a picture book filled with eye candy for the nature lover, world traveler, and science enthusiast. I highly recommend this book to inspire your soul, renew your mind, and lift your spirits.

Just what I wanted!

I love this book! I'm in to landscape photography and this book is some of the best examples out there.

much better than expected

The pictures were gorgeous and up to the author's usual standards, the book covered all of north america thoroughly, including several sections each on Canada and Mexico. Quite a bit of background text was included, which I enjoyed b/c I like Rowell's writing. Much much better than I'd expect from AAA.

The best photo book

If there is any photo book to buy purely for visual pleasure, this is it. The is simply the best deal. A ton of photos, of Galen Rowell quality, minimal but effective text and about North America. It is essentially his life's portfolio of our continent.

A Must

Galen Rowell is one of the very best when it comes to stunning landscape pictures in great moods. This book is full of them and I consider it a must for every fan of the great American landscape. Only sometimes you wish that the two-page-prints originally would have been made with medium or large format cameras. But then you cannot blame Rowell because only small format provides the flexibility that's imperative to capture the most special moods in nature. And no, I don't know Rowell personally, unfortunately.
