Hello All,

The Christmas and Holiday buying season is coming soon, and we would love it if some of our best titles made their way to your shelves. Our books make very impressive but affordable gifts for the hard-to-shop-for coworker or family member, and we have several new releases to please an eclectic audience.

Seattle just came in, and it’s a perfect book for Washingtonians and out-of-staters. The photography really shows off the beauty and uniqueness of Seattle as a city and as an international destination. New Mexico: Portrait of a State also came in during September, and it continues the tradition of high-quality photography at a value price-point offered by all our “portrait” books.

Graphic Arts Books is happy to announce that Arizona, the first in our newly redesigned state series, will be coming out in time for Christmas. It’s a high-end book by David Muench, the celebrated regional photographer made famous by books like Plateau Light and Our National Parks. And if photography books catch your fancy, remember some of this year’s best titles are full of gorgeous photos. Pilgrim’s Eye, One World, and International Harvester, McCormick, Navistar are a delight and make outstanding gifts.

As always, thank you for your continued support.

Regards,
 
Mike Jones
