Product Description
Badlands and ruins, hot air balloons and pueblo life -- somewhere between the pop fame of Route 66 and prehistoric landscape of Carlsbad Caverns is the spirit of New Mexico: ancient and breath taking. Santa Fe and Albuquerque are alive with Spanish dance, modern architecture and painting, while vibrant native cultures thrive throughout the state. Visitors enjoy activities such as world-class skiing at Taos and white-water rafting along the legendary Rio Grande. In New Mexico, some of North America's best photographers celebrate this intriguing state, from ghost towns and sacred sites to vital urban communities and snowy wilderness scenes. About the America series: As expansive as America itself, this outstanding series captures outstanding views of panoramic landscapes, brilliant city skylines, and picturesque communities. Each volume focuses on a city or state and features 96 pages and 70 stunning images by internationally renowned photographers, plus descriptive captions.

 American Series - North Carolina - hardcover May 12, 2007

I ordered 3 of these books as brand-new. I use them for customers who purchase out-of-state investment real estate from me. They enjoy getting a book of the state they purchased in. 1 of the books was used. I was in a short time frame and needed to deliver the books immediately, so I gave 2 clients a brand-new book and 1 client a used book.

I've lived in New Mexico for most of my life, and usually find photo books of the state to be pretty bland and unexciting: adobe areas of Santa Fe, red chile ristras hanging in doorways, monotonous collections of animal-shaped hot air ballons, and Socorro's Very Large Array of satellites facing the sky like sunflowers.
This book has all those things, but it also has a good variety of weird natural formations, urban parts of Albuquerque, and even some ruins. Many of the photos are beautiful, and overall the collection is eclectic enough to give a person a good idea of many of the unique facets and areas of New Mexico.
Shiny - but not much Substance. July 3, 2003

The book is very prettily done. Lots of slick photographs of things that caught the photographers eye. But - not a lot to really give you the scope and majesty of New Mexico. I have found that other books - particularly a book of how-to's for photographers visiting the Southwest [Photographing the Southwest: Volume 2--A Guide to the Natural Landmarks of Arizona & New Mexico, by Laurent Martres] to be actually a much better travel guide.However, it looks nice on the coffee table... how's that?
