Synopsis: With stunning photography on every page by professional photographer Mark Lisk, "Utah: The Beehive State" is coffee-table style volume (12.4 x 1.1 x 10 inches, 4.19 pounts) that is a compilation of full page visual treasures that will transport the armchair traveler on a visual journey through the scenic wonders of Utah.
 
Critique: Highlighting the state's most beautiful spots and famous landmarks, "Utah: The Beehive State is an inherently fascinating volume to simply browse through one spectacular page at a time. "Utah: The Beehive State" could well serve as a template for similar photographic studies of other states. While highly recommended for community, college, and university library Photography collections (and an ideal Memorial Fund acquisition choice for Wisconsin community and academic libraries), it should be noted for personal reading lists that "Utah: The Beehive State" is also available in a digital book format (Kindle, $18.99).
