Every photograph an original All the photographs in this book are originals that have never before been published. Most tourist guides are compiled by the publisher buying cheap 'stock shots' from photo agencies. This is why you see the same old scenes popping up in different books.
The photographs in America - a guide to the experienceare all new. They have been painstakingly selected to give you pictures with a story behind them, to reveal a new
aspéct of American üfe. In addition, they are matched to the text so that you can see what the author is talking about. .,
Travel a vast country In this book you'll travel a vast country. From Chicago's lakeside where the young city dwellers sun themselves, to hidden, wild beaches in Florida. From the huge mëtropolises of Washington D C and New York City to the wide open spaces of the Mid-West and the Colorado Rockies. You'll make tracks across a seemingly endless Texas and take in the surprisingly long history of the Deep South. While on the West Coast you'll join the sun worshippers soaking up 'the good life' on idyllic beaches and coves.
Here is the United States as it is today. A changed place from even 20 years ago. Cet to know the very different country that is in the making. An America brought unforgettably alive in viVid words and pictures.
Enjoy the experience!
