Abstract
Stodgy university presses, in these hard economic times, have begun to produce books that have a broad appeal to scholars and casual readers alike, and The Texas Post Office Murals is a splendid example of the genre. Beautifully designed and printed, mostly in vivid color, Parisi's book becomes both a superb tourist's guide to 1930s art in Texas and a primary research document for students of American art and culture. Given the size of the state of Texas, he has also performed a valuable service by saving all of us a lot of dusty mileage along blue highways.
