Your coffee table just earned a Junior Ranger badge. Parks by Standard Manual corrals 300+ maps, brochures, and graphic oddities from a century of U.S. National Parks, proving the design history is every bit as epic as the landscapes. Photographer Brian Kelley treats these paper keepsakes like treasures, charting a visual trail from early cartography quirks to Massimo Vignelli’s legendary Unigrid. Parks has been on our founder’s shelves for years, and it’s still one of those books she pulls down again and again for equal parts design inspiration and national park nostalgia. Think of it as a road trip through American design—with none of the traffic, bug spray, or melted car snacks. Show more
