Colour is set aside for most of the book: without it the eye reads shape, weather and distance instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShort notes run through the book on what is being looked at: why a canyon's far rim lights before its floor, why a wind-shaped pine grows along the seams of the rock it stands on, what a braided river is doing to the gravel it runs over. Enough to reward a second pass, never enough to interrupt the picture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pictures run to the edge of the page and the wide frames open across the gutter. A large, quiet volume for a table, a cabin shelf, or a gift to somebody who walks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrinted in full colour on heavy 150gsm coated paper at 216 x 279 mm (8.5 x 11 inches), as a paperback.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cedar Pine Editions","offers":[{"title":"Perfect Bound","offer_id":68136509342000,"sku":"9671456001715","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.thegreatbritishbookshop.co.uk\/products\/coffee-table-book-of-national-parks-paperback","provider":"The Great British Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
