Horsted releases coffee table book

Local photographer/author Paul Horsted and his partner Camille Riner have just published a 400-page coffee-table book with more than 350 “then and now” photos from across the entire state. The book opens with historic and modern images of Black Elk Peak, then moves across the Black Hills including Custer City and Custer State Park. Next it meanders past-and-present across South Dakota landscapes and landmarks and through 100 towns and cities to Sioux Falls. Hundreds of rare historic images fill out the volume, matched with Horsted’s images of those historic photo sites today. 
A second copy of the book was donated for patrons of the Hermosa Library, and another will go into the Custer School District library.
The 1881 Courthouse Museum will host the author at a book release party Tuesday, Sept. 1, from 5-7 p.m. on the lawn. There’ll be a brief program and a book signing, with free door prizes including copies of all of Horsted’s books. Refreshments including wine, water and finger foods will be served, and the South Dakota Outdoor Shop next door will have live music and additional refreshments.
“After 10 years of work on this I’m really pleased to see it in print,” Horsted said. “With Camille’s design expertise and amazing reader support this is the largest book we’ve ever done in 25 years of publishing. Read on.”
For sale now at the museum, the new book can also be previewed at PaulHorsted.com.
