"To those familiar with this area, the allure of Albuquerque and Bernalilo County as presented here will come as no surprise. If, however, you are leafing through this book and are not acquainted with the unique beauty that surrounds us, prepare yourself. A picture is worth a thousand words. And here we display hundreds of pictures - taken by some of the city's premier photographers and presented by one of Albuquerque's premier designers. We are speechless, because the book speaks for itself."
