Discover America the mid‑century way

Part I showcases 100 “must‑see” scenic destinations across the United States and Canada, pairing full‑color maps with period photographs and engaging travelogue text.

Part II pivots to sportsmen’s paradise, mapping where to fish, hunt, golf, ski, sail & more—complete with licensing tips and regional insights. 

With its broad 13‑inch format, gilt page edges, and vibrant end‑papers (a corporate Christmas gift sticker adds provenance), this volume is equal parts reference, coffee‑table showpiece, and Americana collectible.
