One trip, two field guides. Every stop is a chapter of the American story — with things to find, big questions to argue about in the car, and pages to fill in yourself. Choose your edition below.
The Great American Sketchbook
A road-trip history for someone who thinks in pictures. Every unit pairs the story with an "artist's eye," things to sketch and find, and a WPA-poster feel — a travelling portfolio you build as you go.
