The catalog accompanying the exhibition Long May She Wave: A Graphic History of the American Flag is a beautiful book, containing images of most of the objects that will be displayed in the Nevada Museum of Art exhibition of the same name. It does, however, contain little in the form of text--historical information, for example, is limited to names and dates.
Flag: An American Biography sits at the other end of the spectrum: little in the form of images, even for illustration purposes, but rich in historical information and context regarding the development of the American flag as on object of national significance over the last two centuries plus.
If not in the museum store, they're to be easily found online at www.amazon.com and through Sundance Books, Barnes & Noble, or Borders.
