2 comments about Pacific Northwest: A Photographic Tour (Highsmith, Carol M., Photographic Tour.).

1. Like wow! When my parents were looking at this book and hoping to get an idea of the Pacific Northwest, I didn't know what all the oohs and ahs were all about. But after taking a gander at the many gorgeous pictures depicting the natural, cultural and historic wonders of this diverse region -- safely under the blanket with a flashlight -- I can see why they liked it so much. Containing almost none of the preciousness one often sees in coffee table books, nor the high flown gas one sometimes finds in other works devoted to American regions, nor the sappiness of the normal trade book intended for use by armchair travelers, Mr. Landphair and Ms. Highsmith's work really makes you want to visit the Northwest and soak up the sights. The captions are eloquent without being overly long, and the photos are artistic without being 'artsy.' The printing itself is a work of art. I would unreservedly recommend this to anyone either of my own age group or older. Awesome! Move over Playstation 2!



2. I bought this book because I live in the Pacific Northwest and I wanted a memento of my area in case I ever move away. There are excellent large photos of areas I have seen with my own eyes, such as Portland Oregon with Mt Hood in the background, the Japanese Gardens in Portland, Oregon beaches, Multnomah Falls and Vista House's view, both along the Columbia River Gorge, an inside picture of Timberline Lodge, Stonehenge, which is a 10 minute drive from my home, the Riverfront park in Spokane and the HUGE Radio Flyer wagon slide that is there, Mt Saint Helens, to name a few. Also there are pictures of places I haven't seen yet that I would like to see, in California, and Vancouver BC and Oregon's Crater Lake that is on the cover as well as in the book. Includes some history and historical photos in the beginning of the book. If you don't live in this area this book may inspire you to visit.

3 comments about More than Petticoats: Remarkable Oregon Women (More than Petticoats Series).

1. This book portrays the lives of 10 women who successfully made the transition from the "doll or drudge" category of the sterotypical Pioneer Woman. They become independent women leading successful lives in their own right, in spite of being dealt very poor hands when they came to Oregon.



2. I'm a rather reluctant history-book reader, but I found this book thoroughly compelling! My husband and I read the stories out loud on our trip through Oregon and watched the past come alive. If you are tired of the same, old dusty Western tales, give this one a try. It's sure to enchant you! And thanks to the author for putting these stories together.

1 comments about Oregon Wild & Beautiful: Coast.

1. This photo book is a feast to the eye. The photographers have captured the wilds of Oregon from the coast over the Cascade Range and into the high desert. Check out Fred Pflughoft's other Wild and Beautiful books (Grand Teton, Wyoming and Yellowstone) along with Fred and David Morris' "Great Lodges of the West" and "Great Lodges of the Canadian Rockies"; you won't be disappointed.

1 comments about Oregon High: A Climbing Guide to Nine Cascade Volcanoes.

1. This guidebook is old, hard to find, and often spendy but that doesn't change the fact that it's the best Oregon mountaineering guidebook you can get. It contains some pretty obscure routes and covers all the major peaks. This is as close as you can get in Oregon to a Beckey Guide (why couldn't Fred have made one for us? It's a shame).
