The Last of the Hill Farms
In 1968 the photographer Richard Brown fulfilled a romantic childhood dream when he moved to the Northeast Kingdom, a remote corner of Vermont just barely entering the twentieth century.

Soul of Vermont
Richard Brown’s window onto the soul—of Vermont. Arguably the consummate collection of quintessential Vermont images, Richard Brown’s now-classic, eminently collectible The Soul of Vermont is back in hardcover. For more than 40 years, Brown has been taking photographs of his beloved home state. These soulful images, taken throughout the seasons, create a distinctive, unforgettable photographic portrait of Vermont’s landscape and its people. He chronicles with great affection the people who live and work on the land, and without sentimentality he celebrates a rapidly disappearing way of life.
My Kind of Garden
As a photographer, Richard Brown has spent countless hours in the world's grandest and most beautiful gardens. While working in these breathtaking locations, he began to make a wish list of what would go into his ideal garden. But when he tried to recreate those elements on his modest property in northern Vermont, the plants didn't survive and the design looked out of place. Gradually, as he has discovered what he cannot do and what he can learn from others, he has begun to create an immensely satisfactory personal landscape. My Kind of Garden is a book that both delights and inspires with its glorious garden photography and that shows us in a practical way how to make a beautiful personal garden.

In this book, Richard Brown traces the development of the ideal of an informed citizenry in the seventeenth through nineteenth centuries and assesses its continuing influence and changing meaning.
