Chatting Books Online Day 253. Since I spent the weekend in New Roads with a pop-up bookshop at The Market at the Mill it has inspired me to choose New Roads and Old Rivers: Louisiana's Historic Pointe Coupee Parish with photographs by Richard Sexton and text by Randy Harelson and Brian Costello as today's recommended book.
Not only is this coffee table book beautiful but I learned something about the parish on the very first page! "Pointe Coupee" means "A place cut off" in french and the area was so named due to the three oxbow lakes which have been cut off of the Mississippi River over the years.
With photos and history of the area, it's homes and churches, and even it's oak trees this book depicts all the beauty that is Pointe Coupee , our neighboring parish across the river.
This is a hardcover , full color coffee table book selling for $45 a copy.
To purchase a copy come see us at the shop during business hours or you can call or message me to have a copy shipped to you -Now mask up and enjoy the beauty of the season.
