    Salvatore Vasapolli’s Montana: A Portrait of a State is a small version of his first book, Montana a SAPPI world gold award winning book. His style combines that of Ansel Adams and David Muench! If you can find the first book, buy that one. The large format camera images foreground subjects seem to jump out of the book drawing you into the picture. Most of those books are already collector items with dealer selling them for more than 5x the original cost! Grab it if you can!
