By Chuck R Stewart

Indigo Publishing is a company based in Macon, Georgia and they produce a wide variety of books, most of them with rich photography and imagery.This wonderfully talented team of writers, photographers and graphic artists produces some of the most striking stories of the most picturesque places in the US, along with vibrant stories about interesting people, such as the Atlanta Braves or the University of Alabama's Crimson Tide.

Walter Victor's book, Brave at Heart: The life and lens of Walter Victor is a beautiful example of one of Indigo Publishing's photography books.Walter Victor was the official photographer of the Atlanta Braves, and this book is a 40 year history of the Atlanta Braves as a photo journal.This heartwarming story of the Atlanta Braves is Walter's view through his camera lens of his favorite team.Thoroughout Atlanta Braves history no other photographer has been honored with a camera well of his own, except Walter Victor; they even put his name on it.Many people in Atlanta honor Victor as a sports photography legend.As long as the Braves have been in Atlanta, Walter Victor has been a part of the team and this book records this period in time. It is not to be missed by baseball fans.

Bama Football Fan: A new beginning is another stunning book by Indigo Publishing.The book features the artwork of Richard Russell, who is the official artist of the University of Alabama's Crimson Tide. Along with his work with Bama football; Russell has also done work for Auburn University.There is an intense rivalry between these two great Bama football teams, and Russell's art captures it all from the viewpoint of the fan.His book, Bama Football Fan, is a collection of his favorite Bama football paintings, with the stories of these paintings told in his own words. Russell doesn't paint Auburn and Bama football scenes, but is a gifted cityscape artist as well. This is truly a great gift for any Bama Football Fan.

Another of the books offered by Indigo is called Crowning Glory: American Wives of Princes and Dukes. Most people don't know that more than 100 American women have married royalty and this book is the story of them all.Immediately one thinks of the love story between Wallis Simpson, an American divorcee and King Edward, who abdicated his thrown to marry her.They lived a simple life, far from the luxury of the royal family until their deaths.And there is no better an example of an American icon marrying royalty than when Grace Kelly, the Academy Award winning actress and fashion icon married Prince Ranier III of Monaco.The reigning monarch in Monaco today is her son, Prince Albert II.Arguably one of the most beautiful women in the world, Princess Stephanie, is the daughter of Princess Grace and has been the subject of many tabloid stories. - 16003
