By HarlemGal
\nHarlemCondoLife attended the official book launch of The National Parks: Our American Landscape. We wanted to see exactly what this book entailed since a portion of the proceeds are going to National Parks. The entire evening ended up being more than we expected. First, we learned that a book about National Parks had not been published in awhile. And second, Ian Shive, the photographer<\/a>, took time to tell stories with the guests one-on-one about how the book came to light.<\/p>\n

We asked Shive what he takes away from this project. “I encourage people to go visit a national park. You may see something you have never seen before.”<\/p>\n

If you want a nice coffee table book for your office or home that will spark interesting conversation, we recommend buying this book. Plus it’s $40. Not bad since it will help our National Parks, such as General Grant National Memorial<\/a> in Harlem.<\/p>\n
