4.0
An American Index of the Hidden and Unfamiliar was exactly what it promised it was going to be. I was thoroughly impressed by some of the shots, the locations, and the stories. I didn't love Simon's composition or editing though: it was very 2006, with too many underexposed sections and sometimes not enough framing for me to enjoy it. Overall, an 8/10, a book I can definitely reference when trying to write about Weird America.

Concept, execution, storytelling, and sequencing are all top notch. A landscape format or more square format book with larger images would have been preferred. Still, a minor quibble regarding a fascinating, important body of work.
