4.0 out of 5 stars Nice photos but no maps for inquiring minds., April 5, 2005

By	Travis C. Ward "C. William Anderson" (Silverton, OR United States) - See all my reviews

This is a terrific book for the coffee table and for those wanting a superficial glimpse of a terrific state.

Still, a few maps would help readers gain perspective into the various regions. First thoughts of outsiders regarding North Dakota? Cold and flat. Yet, the state does have a lot more variety and warmer summers than other states. Maps tied to the pictures would help. So, too, would brief descriptions of the counties interspersed between some of the fantastic photos.

Despite the omissions alluded to above I recommend this book to all readers interested in North Dakota.

3.0 out of 5 stars Book is Good and has great picture but too simply done...., March 28, 2003

By A Customer

This book has beautiful pictures of around the state of North Dakota with awesome country scenes. It did show one city picture of Minot which was nice however I think to have made the book complete He should of had a city picture of Grand Forks, Fargo or even Bismark the capital. I feel most of the pictures were of the western side of the state however the book was good and the pictures were impressive.
Worth buying.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice "picturebook" of ND, September 12, 2004

By	S. B. Colby "fargophysicist" (Fargo, ND USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I think that this book is a well above average "picturebook." It's short on narrative, unlike "North Dakota ...Land of Changing Seasons," for example. I've had "Simply Beautiful" for about a week and find myself thumbing through it time and again. I expect that I will continue to do so for some time.
