After I visited majestic Monument Valley, which bisects Utah and Arizona, where four states (AZ, UT, CO, & NM) meet, I searched for picture book that would bring back the memories of the beauty of the valley to me. I found such a book in "Monument Valley, Navajo Tribal Park," by the author, Companion Press. The book contains some historical background on the Valley (written by Anne Markward) mixed with some Native American thoughts and poetry. There are some amazing color photographs of the Valley as well as some early b & w photos of the Valley's inhabitants (Navajo Nation & early trader, Harry Goulding). I recommend the hardback edition. And for some moving pictures of Monument Valley, I recommend both John Ford's, the Searchers and James William Guerico's Electra Glide in Blue with feature the grandeur of Monument Valley.
This book is exceptionally well done. Large enough pages to do justice to the pictures and top quality printing on good paper stock. Many photographers' images were used so the overall quality is much higher than other books on the southwest done by individual photographers.Of the many books I have on the southwest this one is by far the best value in terms of what is provided and the nominal cost. There is no fluff or filler, just great pictures.
I wanted to see some pics of the Monument Valley and this book really is great. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in Monument Valley. This will be on our next travel destination.
The book is a wonderful addition to our collection of places we have visited. It is informative as well as a great collection of descriptive pictures.
I toured Monument Valley three years ago and this book brought it all back to me and more! I saw most of the sights that are pictured in the book but not at all of the different times of the day and seasons of the year the book shows. The view changes every hour of the day and at every season. If you can't go in person, you need this book!
An extremely good book on the Valley and the Navajo Indians that live there. Nice photos and the buttes and mesas named
As beautiful as these photographs may be,and they are beautiful, they fail to capture the aura, majesty, and grandeur of Monument Valley.The text is good, very informative, but the pictures don't do the Valley justice.They fail to capture the grandeur, the reverence, of Monument Valley.Still, a good book, just not a great one...
Just what I needed to begin planning our trip.
