Standard Manual “Parks” Coffee Table Book

Just because you and your kids may not have been to one of our country’s breathtaking national parks doesn’t mean you can’t experience some of it in an analog fashion. The new book “Parks – From Pictures To Words: Persuasion and the National Parks” covers the artwork from the National Parks Service. Standards Manual partnered with photographer Brian Kelley to assemble artwork from brochures, posters, maps, etc., and there are 300 examples found between the covers of this big, yellow coffee table book. There are also detailed topographical maps and documents, as well as information about origins, use, and significance of the artwork. It’s a unique book that should remind you that most of what’s worth experiencing isn’t on a screen.
