<DIV><DIV>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Part guide and part spiritual journey, this visually stunning book celebrates America&rsquo;s statewide system of historic back country roads. It takes armchair travelers on a richly illustrated journey thorough the most beautiful landscapes of one of the nation&rsquo;s most geographically diverse states, and serves as a guide for those who decide to embark on an actual trip over these charming lanes. <DIV>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The project began when photographer Bob Rashid undertook a two year odyssey to preserve the remarkable sights along the 67 official Rustic Roads in Wisconsin. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I> Wisconsin's Rustic Roads</I>, in the images of Rashid and the words of five of Wisconsin&rsquo;s most recognized and cherished authors, is a testiment to places where the efficiency of a road is not measured by its speed, nor its purpose necessarily defined by a destination, and which beckons the reader to linger.</DIV>
