The Midwest Book Review calls Glacier National Park: The First 100 Years by C. W. Guthrie “A captivating volume...highly recommended.”

The Roanoke Times says of Blue Ridge Parkway Simply Beautiful, “Pat and Chuck Blackley have shot scenes that are out of this world, one breathtaking landscape or dynamic close-up after another. I will declare outright that you will be hard-pressed to find a book with more stunning parkway photographs than this one.”
