Rated 5 out of 5 by from What a beautiful book If you love LL Bean as much as I do and it's a part of your life for as long as it has been mine this book is an absolute must. The binding is just like their bags with sewn and stitching and a little LL Bean tag. LL Bean is not only a part of Americana it's a part of Maine's history and this book encapsulates that from 1912 through 2012 with wonderful stories, rich history and reproductions of old catalog art. I enjoyed every minute of this book, it's a perfect coffee table book. I want to thank you LL Bean for making this for us it's really a gift to customers.
