Anticipated final installment in the trilogy begun with The Forests of California(2020) and continued with The Coasts of California(2022), which was a San Francisco Chroniclebestseller. Obi Kaufmann's signature combination of art, journaling, cartography, poetry, philosophy, science, and zoology is heavily sought after, and his fans will be delighted to see this new volume in his California Atlas series. Each volume in the series has been a bookseller favorite. This is due to the overall consistency of Kaufmann's attention to detail and astonishing vision and outlook on California landscape, flora, fauna, and natural history. This book delivers on that high bar set by the prior installments in the series! The last installment in the trilogy, Coasts of California,hit the San Francisco Chroniclebestseller list; the second in the series to do so (TheCalifornia Field Atlas (2017) was #1 on the bestseller list). Like Coasts, Desertswill be presented in a decorative paper slip-case, both to protect the book cover in a more sustainable way, but also allow customers to flip through the book's paintings and maps in a bookstore setting.
