In a Rugged Land: Ansel Adams, Dorothea Lange, and the Three Mormon Towns Collaboration, 1953–1954 by James Swensen

Anyone who loves small-town, old-time, Mormon Utah should love this book. The photos by Ansel Adams and Dorothea Lange charmingly portray a society of innocence, and the backstory narrated by James Swensen raises the book above the coffee-table-book level.
