Around late August, I start craving something I don't even like the rest of the year. I start wanting Orange. Not the fruit, but the COLOR orange. I crave looking at the round, full orange texture of pumpkins. I have owned this book for several years, and every year I look forward to pulling it out with my other Autumn decorations. I set this book out with my other pumpkin books, but "Pumpkins" is definitely the main course! Pumpkins are photographed in a wide variety of settings, making each photograph fresh and interesting. I am even thinking about getting a second copy of this book to make framed pictures out of my favorite photographs. If you celebrate Autumn with a passion for pumpkins, this book is for you.

All hail the icon of autumn, the pumpkin! This exquisite coffee table book has 72 pages of pumpkins and, thankfully, no text. There isn't much you can say about a food product that once nurtured the native Americans and now offers itself up in supplication to yearly mutilation in the name of Jack O' Lantern, so why bother? Instead treat yourself to glorious lit and art directed photos depicting fields of orange globes, pumpkins gently resting in the snow, and proudly standing guard on a porch backlight by a beautiful blue sky. The book is truly pumpkin pie for the eyes. I must warn you, you may never again carve out a toothy grin on one of these again. Buy this book and get ready for fall.

Lovely photographs of the most festive of all fruits. I recommend this book for all fans of Halloween, fall, and gardening. I just love the combinations of orange, browns, and greens that are captured through these photos. It really gets me excited about the season despite the fact that I'm from Texas.
