Landmarks in the Landscape: Historic Architecture in the National Parks of the West

Summary: Poor Quality of Photo Process mars an otherwise great book
Review: I would have to agree with the positives highlighted by other reviewers, however the process that they used to print the photos left them looking like something from a first generation inkjet printer....very grainy and hard to look at without eyestrain. I was rather surprised at the publishers decision to economize in this way and wondered at first if the book was a pirate production. So sorry!

Summary: Discvered!
Review: Just came across this book while planning a driving tour of national parks. Impressed by the author's weaving scholarship with excellently reproduced photos for a feel of the architecture and the landscape. It manages to tell fascinating history and be very readable. Can't wait to follow along with the author even though our pictures won't look as good. It is a great trip planner and wish that it fit in the glove compartment!
