Book excerpt: Millions of people have seen Michael Kahn's stunning seascape and sailing images in art galleries, on posters, and in Pottery Barn and other retail catalogs. Now, collected for the first time in book form, this sumptuous coffee-table volume is a visual escape that inevitably evokes a longing for the sea. Kahn hand-prints his images using a process he developed, which produces warm, sepia-toned photographs. This collection is the perfect gift for anyone who appreciates the emotional pull of a sailboat on the open sea.
