An Espresso Table Mini-Classic: Broadly Concise, SUPERB Pix!!

This whole 50-state series is exceptionally well produced, from the quality semigloss paper stock to the cute state-specific repeating motif endpaper designs. The text is both ample and informative, but the real delight is in the many (necessarily smallish but well-chosen) gorgeously reproduced pictures! All aspects of the state's artistic heritage and ongoing activities are represented. A solid general introduction and timeline sets the reader up to appreciate the subsequent themed sections and their appealing images within a broad historical context. These titles make useful pocket companions and itinerary planners for state-wide art appreciation forays. You'll enjoy this one -- and want to collect the set!
