Title: A Guide to Beauty
Review: Randall Sangerâs book Waterfalls of Virginia and West Virginia is one of the most delightful books I have had the pleasure of reading in a long time. Not only are the quality pictures beautiful enough to leave even the best of photographers in awe, but they take the reader to places of beauty and serenity from the majesty of Brush Creek Falls on Pages 134-135 to the swirls of Elakala Falls #1 on pages 214-215. It isnât a book you would necessarily sit down and read straight through, but it is one you would pick up and enjoy over and over again. If you are a fan of waterfalls, you will definitely want this book to carry in your backpack or glove compartment. In addition to the photographs, Sanger, an award-winning landscape photographer, includes the location of the falls, a GPS location, detailed directions, the website, the river containing the falls, the nearest town, the height, the distance from the road, admission price if there is one, and most importantly, for people like me, the difficulty of the trail to the falls. He also notes places to stand to get the best composition and gives information about other falls in the area that might not be included in the book. Whether you take pictures of the falls or just go there to enjoy their beauty, this book is for you.

Title: Very Thorough Guide
Review: This guide is quite extensive--well described with detailed directions and excellent photo examples. My only caution to anyone using it for pre-planning is to cross reference the falls with Google Maps and Directions ahead of time if planning a travel itinerary of multiple waterfall sites. The author explains that he may be referring to some falls by name of water source, so it is worth the investment in time to clarify names of falls (Google may use a different waterfall ID) and print your own maps to carry along for accurate routing from one location to another. Coordinates are provided, so you can pinpoint your destination with GPS once you are in the vicinity.

Title: Great book for exploring the waterfalls of WV and VA
Review: As an avid waterfall photographer I am always on the lookout for hidden gems and the more famous waterfalls when we travel. This book was a real asset in finding waterfalls that we would have never found without this book. The added photos of each waterfall, detailed directions with hiking mileage and comments were extremely helpful in selecting waterfalls for our photography trip.
