Perched on the shores of the Tacoma Narrows, the community of Salmon Beach overlooks the spectacular Tacoma Narrows Bridge. Built as a series of fishing shacks on the beach, Salmon Beach took on a more permanent flavor after Henry O. Foss towed his two-story boathouse from the city to the tidelands south of Point Defiance. After electricity was introduced in 1934, more comfortable cottages were built in this fishing community. From summer beach camping to an isolated refuge in the middle of a city, a haven for rumrunners during Prohibition to the counterculture enclave of the 1960s, the community of Salmon Beach has weathered fires, evictions, landslides, and government caprice to become the unique neighborhood of Tacoma it is today.

Tacoma's Salmon Beach, Washington (Images of America Series)
This is a coffee table book, but anyone who likes India, is from India, has roots in India, or just likes kites should consider this book.
My Sanskrit guru encouraged me to buy this book, but I didn't want another picture book, so I procrastinated its purchase.
And then one day I was at his house and it was there on his coffee table. So I glanced through it. Wow! The first picture I saw was of a few men stnading with their horses on the desert, butas I looked at the long shadow of the sunrise, i realized that they were camels not horses. I turn to the next page, and it was an areal view of a camael market in Jaipur I think. But, tens of hundreds of camels peppered the desert, it was awe inspiring.
So it is not neceesarily a goodread, but a marvlous photography book.
