I have looked through a lot of old books about camping, the outdoors, etc., and I have yet to find any that are as good looking as the Time-Life: American Wilderness series. Pictures and writing are both wonderful. (Ed Abbey edited the "Cactus Country" edition.) The best part about these book is that they're not too hard to find at your local thrift/used book shop, but if you're not near one of those, go on over to your favorite online auctioneer and pick a few out.Y'all have some of these? Got a favorite?
