From the Publisher
Out of Stone is a book that truly needed to be published. The world has heard much about the tragic history of this ancient nation. But Out of Stone portrays the timeless beauty of Armenia in a way that hasn't been done before. Out of Stone actually celebrates Armenia. And this book does so in a way that almost compels one to visit this distant land. It accomplishes this through page after page of vivid color images of landscapes, cultural monuments and portraits. The landscapes depict the majesty of this country. The cultural monuments demonstrate its antiquity. And the portraits suggest that the photographers truly loved their subjects. Out of Stone is the first, and currently still the only published collection of photographs that looks to the future with such hope and optimism.

Mr. Ararat on your Coffee Table.,
By Mark D. Gavoor (Connecticut) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Out of Stone: Armenia & Artsakh (Hardcover)
I have been to Armenia and Artsakh the past two summers and have two photo albums from the trip. If my photos were ever destroyed or lost, I wouldn't feel so bad because I could buy this beautiful book that captures the essence, spirit and beauty of the ancient land and people. Plus, except for my photos having people I know and love in them, the photos in this book are superior. In fact, they are phenomenal.It is a must for the library of any Armenophile. Excellent job, Mr. Karanian and Mr. Kurkjian!!
