News release from http://www.kansassampler.org/newsview.php?id=140The "8 Wonders of Kansas Guidebook" is a 272-page book showcasing over 800 beautiful photos of the 216 entries in the 8 Wonders of Kansas contests. It is certain to become a treasured Kansas classic whether it's used as a coffee table book or as a travel guide.
Photographer Harland Schuster, Morrill, went to each one of the 216 places between May and November of 2010 to take up-to-date pictures. Book designer Liz (Penner) King has interspersed information about each of the places among Harland's photos to create a book that perfectly fits the celebratory nature of 2011, Kansas' sesquicentennial year.
The top 8 Wonders entries in the categories of Architecture, Art, Commerce, Cuisine, Customs, Geography, History, People, and the Overall 8 Wonders are featured in a two-page spread. The remaining 16 finalists in each category are recognized on a half page.
Mennonite Press, Newton, printed the book. Koerperich Bookbinders of Selden, one of the 8 Wonders of Kansas Commerce finalists, bound the limited hard-back version.
A project of the Kansas Sampler Foundation, the book will debut April 16 at the reception for the 8 Wonders of Kansas exhibit at the Eisenhower Library, Abilene. The public is welcome to attend the reception from 2-4 p.m. The program will take place at 2 p.m.
