Most city photo books are for tourists, awards or perhaps libraries. They usually don't give you a sense of the people and emotions of the city just some photos of landmarks. Joel Roger's book is different because he knows Seattle so well and he is a great photojournalist. His book left me happy I live here and reminded me of many sweet and breathtaking moments. It is the perfect book to hand to my house guests when they arrive asking, "What should we do?"

This book lives up to its reputation for being a good review of Seattle, both for people who are already familiar with the area as well as for newbies. The friend I bought it for lives there, and he liked it.

Rogers captures the way we Seattle-ites live in and amidst the natural world. His eye and lens time and again bring out the physical beauty of this place we call home.

Having lived for many years in Seattle and the Northwest, I was eager to read this book. I am pleased to say that this book truly captures the essence of Seattle and is filled with wonderful text and photography.
Kudos to Mr. Rogers for a lovely and sensitively written book.

This book is entertaining and has beautiful pictures of Seattle. I use it as my coffee table book, and my guest always comment on it.
