SUPER cool recent acquisition alert!

This set of three maps (Arches National Park, Canyonlands National Park, and Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park) was produced by Lin Ottinger in Moab, UT in the 1970s. The maps were illustrated by Jean-Claude Gal, for use at Ottinger's tour company. 

This particular set was previously owned by W.L. "Bud" Rusho, a western historian, author, and photographer who is best known for his work about Everett Ruess. (Set includes a letter signed by Ottinger granting Rusho permission to use the maps in his future publications.)

This is an incredible find for anyone interested in Moab history and our local parks. Come check it out!

"So This is Ever After"
By F.T. Lukens

“‘Ever After’ by F.T. Lukens is a YA story that asks the question of what happens after the quest is over? The prophecy has been fulfilled and the heroes have deposed the evil king, and now Arek, with his comrades, must figure out how to run a kingdom and bring balance to a long frightened land. Unknowingly, but placing on the crown, he has enacted a spell that would have him find true love or lose his life as consequence. With only a set time to find true love, will Arek succeed in reviving a damaged kingdom and finding the person to share the crown with, or will love be found in the person who’s been by his side the whole time?

Fans of fantasy, Dungeons and Dragons, and sappy romances will feel the thrill of this adventure and fall head over heels in this YA story.”
