Customer Reviews

nice coffee table book

Very good pictures from LIFE. Nice gift for someone. Shipping was on time as well.

Beautiful sights

This book has recently reprinted in a newsstand special-edition softcover under the title, "America the Beautiful: 100 Places to See in Your Lifetime." Most of the places shown (65 out of 100) are Nature's own; the rest are man-made wonders that range from Washingtin, D.C., New Orleans' French Quarter, and San Francisco to West Point, Newport (RI), Fallingwater, and Bellingrath Gardens. Each spot gets a full or half page or a double-spread with a full-color photograph and a brief write-up explaining its significance. Even if you only buy the book for the photos, though, you'll have plenty of droolable moments (the front cover alone is almost worth the price). This volume will give anyone a better idea of what's gorgeous, and most worth seeing, about our country.

Beautiful coffee table book

Love the book. I purchased two of them to give as gifts this Christmas.

Beautiful Pictures

This was a gift given to an uncle who loves to travel, and it was oohed and ahhed over by everyone.

AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL - AMEN

This book was purchased for a friend who is in the early to mid stages of Alzheimers. He and his wife sit and look at the pictures and remember when they say the places photographed. It is an exercise for his brain and a delight for her to be able to share it with him.
