I'm looking for a book that I flipped through on one occasion, and I have no clue as to the title or author.
I found it at a bookstore, Borders, about two years ago. It looked like a new release.
I believe it was hardcover, with a bookjacket. I think the cover photo wrapped around the front and back, and was some sort of landscape, sky: pale gray or pale blue, foggy; there was a tree I think, in silhouette. The tree was seen in the distance and it was the kind that spread out at the top.
The book was more horizontally situated, as tall as an average-length book but the pages were geared for landscapes, so set wider than a paperback. More wide than tall, but not overly so. It just stuck out maybe an inch and a half on the book shelf.
It wasn't a thick book. In page-count, it was perhaps the length of three fully told children's stories, with text alternating on one side of the page and a picture on the other.
Subject of book. First person point of view told by a traveler, the author.
I didn't read much of his writing, because the pictures enchanted me so, I was just looking at them. There were many pictures, all photos of the great outdoors. I don't think I saw a person in any of them. The landscapes were enough by themselves. These were pictures of many kinds of environments, the cold, the hot, the foggy. Around the world places.
There was one picture I remember in particular... a great forest, described as 'impenetrable'... maybe in India or South America. Maybe it was a place where yogis went to...
There were layers and layers of trees in the picture, ascending so that you couldn't see the sky, only pale outlines of distant trees. It was steamy/foggy...
The forest had a great name. Maybe forbidden or heart of darkness or impenetrable or unknown...
It was just a fantastic place.
I'm hoping there are some ideas about what this book was... Without specifics I know it's hard to locate a book... but if you have any idea at all, please answer back.
Thank you.
