An old July road runs straight down a cliff face, and the sumac's torches light the way. Frederick Lazell follows an Iowa summer through wild curves of landscape and small roadside wonders. Every tree, he insists, is a picture. A warm, unhurried walk through the high season of the prairie country. Slow down and look.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
