Author and photographer H.P. Mayer traveled the Rheingau (a wine-growing area between Frankfurt and Koblenz) "by gyrocopter, canoe, steamboat, bicycle or simply on foot" to create Mein Rheingau, "a pictorial journey through the Rheingau with some typical and also some very rare motifs."
This short book (with descriptions in both German and English) is wonderful for those who live in this region. The pictures are decent but won't win any awards. The chosen locations are (as the author said) both typical and unusual, which was a nice mix. The aerial perspectives were nice. I enjoy owning this and perusing the images as I fondly recall our years here, but I'm not sure non-locals would enjoy it as much.
Rating (for locals): B
