Mountain Hands: A Portrait of Southern Appalachia

Journalist Sam Venable & photographer Paul Efird spent four years combing the hills & hollows of southern Appalachia to find talented craftspeople & let them talk about their work. While most of us may think of working with one's hands is entering computer data, these individuals attest to the perseverance--and appeal--of more traditional ways. Mountain Hands is a celebration in words & photographs of gifted people who understand & appreciate the Appalachian heritage--and who live it every day.Sam Venable is the author of 'Mountain Hands: A Portrait of Southern Appalachia' with ISBN 9781572330894 and ISBN 1572330899.
