This page belongs to Bridget Watts dba Black Walnut Books, a book publisher, NOT the bookstore in Glen Falls, NY. I formerly ran the three-generation family business called Nature Study Guild Publishers, publishing the Finders line of field guides, along with other works of May Theilgaard Watts. I sold rights to the Finders series, along with use of the Nature Study Guild name, to Keen Communicati

ons* in 2014. At that time I started doing business (in Rochester, NY) as Black Walnut Books, to keep two titles by my grandmother, May Theilgaard Watts, in print.

*The Finders books are now available from Menasha Ridge Press, an imprint of AdventureKeen.

A great place to buy new and used books (that isn't Amazon) online is Bookshop.org. They share profits with independent bookstores--you can chose to support your local bookstore, or have the proceeds of your purchase go into a pool of bookstores. You can find Reading the Landscape of America and Reading the Landscape of Europe there.
