The Catskills of Sullivan County: A Photography Journey grew out of a desire by author Rich Klein to capture the essential beauty of the region in the early 21st century. Having spent every
summer in the area from 1967 through 1977 at two sleepaway camps, he noticed that so much of the landscape had not changed much when he moved full time to Bethel, NY in 2006. The book focuses
on landscapes but also includes some historic buildings, wildlife and even some residents at public gatherings. Klein, who owns Rich Klein New York Photography, also co-authored Massapequa: A
Pictorial History Through The Eyes of Baby Boomers, published in 2014.
