Great Smoky Mountain Book Trailer

Here is a short trailer for the new book Great Smoky Mountains National Park: Five Decades of American Landscapes which will be in our hands shortly! After 10 years of not changing anything in this best selling book in Great Smoky Mountains National Park stores I thought it would be good to change up this third printing by adding new work. I’ve added 55 new images and redesigned which images are where in the the book. The printing by ArtBookPrinting who worked with us on this version. The print quality is the best I’ve experienced! Each image has more detail than beofre, I went through each image in Lightroom/Photoshop and pulled out more details than before which the presses could now handle.

I also want to thank my designer Rich Nickel, John Manos for editing the copy and of course Steve Kemp for writing the foreword and chapter pieces. A book like this is truely a work of collaboration! Thank you to all who worked with me on this book.

Rember you can pre-order the book on QuietLight Publishing website! http://www.quietlightpublishing.com
