CHIP MULCH GOOD STUFF. STRAIGHT TALK. SINCE 1999. A CHIP MULCH FIND Napa Valley — Signed Charles O’Rear Northern Trust Presentation Copy A lush photographic journey through Napa Valley, signed by the man who knows how to make a green hillside look rather memorable. In Napa Valley: The Land, the Wine, the People, photographer Charles O’Rear presents an intimate portrait of America’s most celebrated wine region. Its 232 oversized pages travel through through vineyards, cellars, wineries, restaurants, harvests, celebrations, and the lives of the people who shaped the valley. O’Rear photographed extensively for National Geographic and spent decades documenting Napa Valley after making the region his home. He is also the photographer behind “Bliss,” the rolling green landscape used as the familiar Windows XP desktop image seen on computers around the world. CHIP’S NOTE This is more than a pretty wine-country book. O’Rear lived in Napa, knew its people, and photographed the valley with the comfortable familiarity of a longtime neighbor. The signed inscription and Northern Trust presentation label also give this copy a personal history that an ordinary bookstore copy simply does not have.
