The cover of the Old Capitol in Jackson
One of the best photography books of our scenic Mississippi available this Christmas is Ken Murphy’s Mississippi. Featured sites from around the state are presented so vividly in this book that they will transport you to the lush woodlands of the Natchez Trace or the solitary waters of the Mississippi coast. Murphy’s book showcases such pleasant pictures that any Mississippian would be proud to display it in his or her house as a testament to the beauty and distinctiveness of Mississippi.
Ken Murphy uses his gift to immortalize local haunts that will always bring fond recollections to those who pass through their doors and to visit the memories of many coastal structures that, because of Hurricane Katrina, no longer stand. Murphy, a resident of Bay St. Louis, traveled the state to tell its story with dignity and to capture its character in this fantastic book.
Mississippi is available in its original brown cover, but also in six different covers, each one an image from the book. The different color covers display the Natchez trace in the fall, old pier posts in the Gulf in Bay St. Louis, Taylor Grocery near Oxford, the Old Capitol in Jackson, Ground Zero in Clarksdale, and sunflowers near Rolling Fork. Signed copies of Mississippi are available at Lemuria Books in Jackson, MS, and Ken Murphy will be signing at Lemuria on December 20th at 1:00pm.
