Summary: Manifique, c'est marveloux!
Review: Every picture is astoundingly beautiful! I find myself turning back to it whenever I need an escape. When friends come over and pick up the book they are mesmerized and usually end up purchasing it. Five stars is not enough!

I also own A Portrait of Napa and Sonoma another photography book by Andy Katz. It is equally as wonderful as The Heart of Burgundy, if you can find it. I could not locate it on this website.

Summary: The Heart of Burgundy: A Portrait of the French Countryside
Review: Readers who enjoy fine photography will appreciate the creatively composed and highly crafted photographs from the Burgundy region. Some viewers may find that the page binding cuts in double page prints tend to diminish the quality of those shots. As art should be, the subjects are personal selections of the photographer. The subjects tend to center on vines, leaves, and related compositions. Similarly, the brief introduction (five pages) outlines geological and political factors which influenced the vineyards of Burgundy. Potential travelers to Burgundy will not find this book especially informative and will do well to seek guide books for the region. Likewise, persons seeking information about the wines of Burgundy will do well to seek a reference on specifics of wines and vineyards. This rather is a book for visual entertainment.
