🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 5 star review from Jason Lykins:

📸✨ Just picked up NolaDeej’s *Deserted New Orleans* and it is outstanding!

It is outstanding to learn the history of abandoned New Orleans from a true native who knows every back road and forgotten corner of the city. His passion for the lost and forgotten is evident on every single page — you can feel the respect and wonder in his words and photos as he brings those haunting landmarks back to life.

The images pull you right in, capturing that beautiful Southern decay and the stories time tried to erase. It’s the kind of book that makes you slow down, linger, and really see the magic in what most folks drive right past.

Highly recommended for your coffee table — it’s one you’ll keep coming back to with your morning coffee, flipping through and getting lost in the history all over again. If you love urban exploration, Southern charm, or just damn good storytelling through pictures, this one’s a must-have. 🤠📖

Big thanks to NolaDeej for sharing his hometown’s hidden side with the world!

📣Pre-order alert: "WHIMSICAL RUINS OF NEW YORK: ABANDONED PLACES IN THE EMPIRE STATE" by Donald Pimental at Whimsical Ruins is published in August.

Read more 👉🏼 https://sut.pub/Whimsical

High in the Catskills, the crumbling remains of a busy spa resort fade into the mountainside. On an island in the middle of the Hudson River, the facade of a castle that exploded catches the eye of commuter rail passengers. Nestled in a protected valley, a residential home for disabled children is collapsing under a blanket of fallen leaves and snow. From the sleepy mountain regions to the bustling urban centers, New York State is full of fascinating abandoned places if you know where to look. These locations serve as physical reminders of the many booms and busts throughout the state’s intriguing history.

Donald Pimental captures the beauty in decay in his series of photographs of the Empire State’s forgotten sites. His photos reveal not just architectural remnants but also the emotional weight these overlooked spaces carry. Some sites have well-documented stories to tell, and others keep their secrets in dusty silence. Join him on his journey to explore sites where time has stood still as nature reclaims what humans have left behind, inviting readers to witness the quiet, haunting transformation of structures fading back into the landscapes that surround them.

In Brooklyn’s Sunset Park, the enclave reflects a blend of old and new, where traditional businesses coexist with modern social clubs and communal markets. Defined by its massive Fuzhounese community and a distinct industrial-to-residential feel, it is a neighborhood in constant motion.

Flushing, Queens, boasts a dynamic Chinatown known for bustling streets filled with a wide array of eateries and shops. Here, a mix of Mandarin, Korean, and other languages reflects the area's incredible diversity. Together, these enclaves offer a glimpse into the rich tapestry of Chinese culture in New York City, from traditional roots to contemporary experiences.

Most people go to Chinatown to eat. I go to look, to listen, and understand. I discovered that these Chinatowns are not just places on a map but living, breathing communities—ones that reveal the complexity of belonging, the resilience of immigrants, and the ways in which culture transforms a city.

✨Available now: "RANCHO SUSCOL: CALIFORNIA'S FORGOTTEN RANCHO" by James E. Lessenger and H. Allan Gandy is published today.

The story of the rancho includes many significant people who resided on the land, as well as important structures. These individuals influenced the development and use of the land.

This book provides an overview of the phases California land policies underwent from the time of Native Americans through the American period. It touches on the Spanish Empire, the romance of the California missions, the gigantic ranchos, the American conquest, honest and not-so-honest lawyers, men and women of courage and foresight, and the settlement of large areas of the West.

It also addresses the destruction of entire Indigenous ways of life due to disease and social disruption. The evil of slavery touched the ranchos, as did the heroism that helped bring it to an end. The Supreme Court played a role in determining ownership of the land.

The authors determined that contemporary painters, photographers, sculptors, printmakers, illustrators, and cartoonists are often turned away by publishers who must limit art stories. They may have minimal budgets for reproducing color art, a lack of art writers and editors, lack of space, or possibly a preference for hard-news features. So herein you will discover many known and unknown artists working in your own cities and towns. You may be pleasantly surprised by their extraordinary images in myriad, exciting styles.

They are creating legacies of visual arts that contribute significantly to the American culture. There are many more New Jersey artists awaiting representation in a second book. Meanwhile, everyone from toddlers to sophisticated art lovers can enjoy seeing this sequel to New Jersey Artists Through Time, published in 2015. Of course, there will always be art and its importance for inspiring a love of both traditional and new concepts, especially for future generations of creative thinkers.

North Texas burial grounds reveal a cultural tapestry through headstone designs, burial traditions, and cemetery symbols. From pioneer burial cairns to Wild West gunfighters, from the nation’s only murder memorial to the grave of an alleged space alien, these burial grounds brim with history, art, and unexpected surprises. Exploring them reveals stories of diverse communities—European, Hispanic, African American, and beyond—who became cowboys, oil tycoons, heroes, villains, and everyday citizens.

Organized into four sections (Dallas, Fort Worth, DFW Metroplex, and Worth the Drive), this book makes it easy to plan North Texas road trips. With vivid photography and concise history, Buried Dallas–Fort Worth reveals how cemeteries serve as unexpected roadside museums, preserving stories that connect the past to the present.

💥 Pre-order alert "PILLSBURY ABANDONED: ART AND RUIN IN THE INDUSTRIAL MIDWEST" by Robert Mazrim is published in August.

𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗲𝗮𝘂𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗲.

For over seventy years, the Pillsbury Flour Mill was the beating heart of Springfield, Illinois. At its peak, this 18-acre powerhouse employed 1,500 workers and pioneered the convenience foods that defined mid-century America. But when the gates closed for good in 2001, a proud history gave way to decades of silence, decay, salvage, and theft.

Once a toxic landscape looming darkly over the community, the abandoned mill was destined for the wrecking ball—until 2023, when its jaw-dropping historic and artistic potential was finally uncovered.

Through a stunning collection of photographs captured in 2023 and 2024, this book takes you past the "No Trespassing" signs. It explores the fascinating intersection of residual history, post-abandonment graffiti, and technological extinction. Far more than a look at what used to be, these pages document what the empty space became: a masterclass in beautiful decay and a remarkable testament to the resilience of industrial art.

As of 2021, Savannah was the fourth busiest seaport in the country, putting it ahead of major cities like Houston and Miami. The following year, 17 million people were recorded visiting the Hostess City.

It’s easy to see why. From Forsyth Park to River Street, and everywhere in between, classic Southern charm can be found around every corner. There is never enough time to see everything that this city has to offer, but these pages will highlight the oak-lined streets, historic architecture, and beautifully manicured squares.

There are both well-known locations as well as off-the-beaten-path offerings to consider for your next visit.
