Customer Reviews

Perfect for the general-interest library.

Weightier books have been written on the subject, but Pat Kramer's ALASKA'S TOTEM POLES offer a difference: a format a little under a hundred pages, packed with color, affordable, and accompanying color photo with stories about the totems and tips on where to view them. As such, it's an excellent introduction which offers colorful, accessible information - perfect for the general-interest library. Diane C. Donovan California Bookwatch
