The River Inside

We purchased a handful of this special book by John Guider and have just now added them to our web store. The author is the rower/sailor/explorer profiled in Hugh Horton’s column in issue #66. 

Here’s a description:

In August 2003, John Guider walked out the back door of his home in Franklin, TN and placed a canoe in the creek behind his house. Three months later, he had paddled all the way to New Orleans. Along the way, Guider kept a detailed journal and took hundreds of remarkable photographs, documenting his amazing journey that led him down five rivers, including the Mighty Mississippi. A traveling exhibition of his photography and this companion coffee table book chronicle this life changing experience and bring this adventure to thousands of Arm-Chair Adventurers across America

The first half of the book is full of journal entries and the second part is museum quality black and white prints of people and scenes along the trip. This book is a very heavy hardbound 11″ square with a dust jacket. It’s not cheap, but we think it would make a great gift for someone who appreciates river exploration in small boats and artistic photography. Also an excellent coffee table book. Buying a copy will also help support John as he continues on his voyage. Click here if you’re interested.—Eds.
