The Storm of 2008 Book: Back Cover by r0ckstarr, on Flickr

This book is photo documentation of Hurricane Ike’s destruction. It is 400 pages and shows over 1000 photos that heavily document the damage that Hurricane Ike caused to the Texas Gulf Coast. So far, this is the largest known documentation of Hurricane Ike.
The book is available in either hard or soft cover. The pages are printed on 80# (135 gsm.) coated, matte paper. This results in a somewhat thicker-than-normal page with a semi-gloss finish to it.
“The Storm of 2008″ covers all directions of Galveston Island from the Seawall to Pelican Island, and from the East end at Apfel Park (and East Beach) all of the way down on the West end past Bermuda and Jamaica Beach. The historic Strand district, Harborside Dr., and residential neighborhoods are inside the book as well. Also covered is the entire length of the Texas City Dike which is now completely wiped out and closed indefinately. Other area’s in “The Storm of 2008″ include Hitchcock, Dickinson, Bayou Vista, League city, San Leon, Bacliff, Texas City, Galveston, Kemah, Seabrook, Bolivar, Gilchrist, Crystal Beach, and more…

With just a little over 100 copies sold the first week, here are a couple reviews from others who have gotten the book:

Quote:

…the quality of the physical book along with professional photography makes it well worth the price. You can’t help but feel mesmerized by the images. Some of them defy imagination. It’s a testament on the power of nature and the tenacity of human beings to survive.
Unless you’ve lived through a major hurricane, you cannot imagine devastation on such a grand scale. This book makes it come alive.

Great job, Brian Starr! It’s not easy to impress me

I’ve got it. It’s great. The pictures are amazing. It’s hard to picture the amount of distruction that a storm like Ike can do. The book captured it very well.
Nice work!
I’m also impressed with the quality. This looks as good if not better than something at barnes and noble. Holy sh*t the pages are glossy and thick too.

Quote:

GET THIS BOOK. You have never seen such coverage and the photography is excellent! You won’t believe that water and wind can pick up a complete lane of road and move it. You won’t know how this didn’t end up covered on TV like Brian has covered it here. I’m amazed.
