Description
Seattle is the corner of the Northwest and the headquarters for some of the world's most recognized brands-Microsoft, Amazon.com, REI, Boeing, etc. It is also a vacation spot to see the Space Needle, Pike Place Market, and the stunning views of the Sound and the Olympic Mountains. The Emerald City resides in our country's psyche as our hope, our hype, our home-young, rambunctious, eager to imitate, out-innovate, and challenge the world's reigning metropolitan centers.

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.

Summary: "Intimate view of Seattle"
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?"
