Upstate Now

Art, Design, and Rural Life in the Hudson Valley and Catskills

by Michel Arnaud; Jane Creech

#UpstateNow #NetGalley

Upstate New York is a beloved destination for many, whether to live there permanently or to visit. Readers will understand why as they page through this gorgeous (if pricey) coffee table book. It is just so easy to keep turning the pages and spend time imagining some time away in the beautiful locations, be they homes, art attractions, nature, a Shaker Village, a farm stand, or more. The photos in these pages were just gorgeous and made me long to be in so many of these places.

Browse in any of these sections. They include A Sense of Place; Art; Design; and Food Flowers and Farms. All are lovely.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Chronicle Books-Princeton Architectural Press for this title. All opinions are my own.

Review

“A lively celebration of a place full of passion, and a wonderful primer for newcomers, of which, as this book suggests, there will always be many.”―Publishers Weekly

I love to read, recommend books and open the world of reading to others. I tutor to ensure that the next generation of readers will know the joys of a good book because their reading skills have improved. I am an avid reader, especially of mysteries and fiction. I believe that two of the world's greatest inventions were the public library and eyeglasses!
