Was standing in a grocery line at Hannaford and happened to see
a beautiful 176 page, full color magazine that many will want to own.
It is $9.99 US and $14.99 Canadian. Just about every page has full
color and excellent photography. I have traveled across most of the
USA so it was a pleasure to see but there was so much more that
documents places, people and happenings in America. Very nicely
done and loaded with interesting information. The cover reads:

                                         America Revealed
Tracing Our History Beneath the Surface and Behind the Scenes

Inside:
It is produced by Life (Time Inc) and may be ordered at 800-327-6388
Mon - Fri 7am-8pm or Sat 7am-6pm Central Time

Table of Contents
6 Introduction by Stephen Jay Gould
10 What the Land Tells Us
38 The Coming of Inhabitants
64 The American Saga
146 Vanishing America

Some of the topics:

I found this at Hannaford but did not see it in any other grocery store.
Will check tomorrow at a couple of others. It would make a great
gift.
