The Most Beautiful George Weigel Book Ever

I just got my hands on George Weigel’s Roman Pilgrimage and boy, howdy, is it a looker. It’s filled with photos of Roman churches (taken by his son, Stephen) that are kind of mind-blowing. I suspect he used a medium-format camera to get so much detail, but I kept wondering how long he had to keep the shutter open to get enough exposure inside these dark places.

The Amazon preview doesn’t really do the book justice, but have a peek anyway.

And if you buy the ebook and load it onto your iPad, all the pictures are in color and full-res. Insanely amazing.

Hard to think of a better Lenten gift . . .
