A feast for the eyes, illuminating the history of Iowa.
As a lifelong Iowan, I was delighted to find this beautiful little volume. It is profusely illustrated, mainly with artworks (but also a few well-chosed photographs,) of all things Iowan. The text lovingly describes our land, history, and culture, as well as art and literary endeavors, public works, and things that are uniquely Iowan. It ends with a perenial calendar...

To Small to Enjoy...
Ordered this book and was surprised by the size when it arrived. It is slightly bigger than a CD. It is a book about art but the pictures are small and the print even smaller. Very disappointed. Great subject but too small to enjoy.

As a lifelong Iowan, I was delighted to find this beautiful little volume. It is profusely illustrated, mainly with artworks (but also a few well-chosed photographs,) of all things Iowan. The text lovingly describes our land, history, and culture, as well as art and literary endeavors, public works, and things that are uniquely Iowan. It ends with a perenial calendar of events and festivals, and a list of museums, attractions, gardents and other resources. Delightful to look at, it invites browsing throught it colorful pages. I use this as a perfect gift for out-of-state visitors.

This book was given to me for Christmas...I loved it. The poem, Landscape-Iowa by James Hearst on page 45, is excellent. From the State Fair to the Madison County Bridges to the Field of Dreams...it's all there.

Great gift! I need to order one for myself. The info was interesting and packed into this small book. Cute historic facts and nice pictures. Makes a great gift, or perhaps a great addition to a coffee table book collection.

Actual book size was smaller than I expected, but still ok. Gave it as a gift, I thought it was a good keepsake of Iowa.
