Very Nice

We bought this book to show our friends in Florida how beautiful North Dakota is - It worked!

Review of North Dakota, Simply Beautiful

Just as beautiful as the state it honors. Magnificent photography of breathtaking scenery, it does justice to this faraway land beloved to the few of us who have been fortunate enough, even if only for a little while, to make it our home.

North Dakota-Book Review

I bought this book as a Christmas present for someone homesick for his home state of North Dakota. I think he really enjoyed it, especially the large, beautiful nightlight(s) picture of his home town. I do wish the book were a little bigger but all-in-all, it was a great purchase.

Nice photos but no maps for inquiring minds.

This is a terrific book for the coffee table and for those wanting a superficial glimpse of a terrific state. Still, a few maps would help readers gain perspective into the various regions. First thoughts of outsiders regarding North Dakota? Cold and flat. Yet, the state does have a lot more variety and warmer summers than other states. Maps tied to the pictures would help. So, too, would brief descriptions of the counties interspersed between some of the fantastic photos. Despite the omissions alluded to above I recommend this book to all readers interested in North Dakota.

Nice "picturebook" of ND

I think that this book is a well above average "picturebook." It's short on narrative, unlike "North Dakota ...Land of Changing Seasons," for example. I've had "Simply Beautiful" for about a week and find myself thumbing through it time and again. I expect that I will continue to do so for some time. Disclaimer: I've been a ND resident for 38 of my 40 years.
