1: SUPERB Photography Book
If you have a heart for farming or just photography, this book will exceed your highest expectation. The pictures are awesome and the stories just take you to the farm. Incredible book!

2: Simply Beautiful
This is a beautiful book. I received it for Christmas and have been looking through it ever since. The images are great, some are simply stunning. The photographer did a great job of giving the average American a look in to the eyes of one of our countries greatest treasures. The accompanying stories are just as moving as the photos. Some of the struggles endured are astonishing. I can't recommend this book highly enough. Anyone that has a connection to farming needs to have it, and anyone that doesn't will gain a new appreciation for our American farmers.

3: The Heart of America--The American Farmer
This is the most beautiful book of photography I've ever seen. It's hard cover, very large and heavy and worth much more than the going price. It pictures the heart of America--our farmers. The forgotten men and women who work so hard to make a living and make America survive. On every other page appears a photographic wonder by Paul Mobley accompanied, on the opposite page, by a history of the farm given by the subject(s). Most of the photos are in color but some are also in black and white, and others in brown tones. The pictures that Mr. Mobley took, are from all across these United States. Every line, wrinkle, age spot and gray appear as they should--vivid!! The bright blues, greens, reds, yellows, purples and oranges literally jump off the pages. I recommend this book to everyone--farmers and photographers alike, children, teachers and all those who want to see what the backbone of America really looks like. sandi angel

5: Inspriational
An American treasure! I wouldn't be surprised to see these photos in a museum someday.
I live in a 6th floor apartment, but thanks to farmer Dave Harris, I look forward to growing some tomatoes this spring.
