A departure from his well-known series of cruising guides, this new book by Peter Vassilopoulos is focussed on scenic places along the coast from Puget Sound to Alaska. It includes comments by way of photo captions as to where the scene is and some background to the places shown. Some historic and factual notes are included and they are presented in such a way so as to not detract from the unspoken thousands of words portrayed by the photographs. As a bonus the author continues overland to parts of the Yukon and Alaska ending with a visit to Dawson City.
