FABULOUS BOOK

This book is a lovely accent piece for the guest bedroom in my home on the Chesapeake. I have found that many of my overnight guests comment on the beautiful photos as well as Horton's vivid description of the Chesapeake Bay.

Review of Water's Way

Water's Way is a stunningly photographed, and exquisitely written glimpse of life in the Chesapeake region. The book celebrates beauty, both in the natural and human worlds. Author Tom Horton's essays are insightful, humorous, and well-crafted. His words flow like the many creeks and rivers that he describes on the Delmarva peninsula. Dave Harp's photography defines the people, animals, and landscape in such concert with Horton's words that the book should be considered the National Geographic of the Eastern Shore. This a worthy addition to anyone's coffee table.
