Exploring Creation: 30A

Exploring Creation: 30A is the long-awaited third coffee table book captured and written by artist Zach Jones. 

“I’ve been asked for years when this book would come to fruition. It was never a project that I was delaying into the future, but rather a project that I was always working towards. These beaches are among the world’s most beautiful, and their relationship with globally rare coastal dune lakes has taken me years to capture in a way that I feel gives them the attention they deserve.

“30A is home to my gallery, and it is so very fitting for my gallery to finally offer a centerpiece book that showcases this truly special place.

“Perhaps the greatest surprise of this book is that it isn’t actually a book; it is two books: Sand & Sea, and Wild & Free, both encased in a luxurious slipcase. Sand & Sea features how I see our emerald Gulf waters, coastal dune lakes, and sugar-white sand beaches. Wild & Free is all about the beautiful creatures that call these beaches home, from birds to deer to marine life. This two-book approach offers me incredible artistic freedom to share every natural element of 30A that has captivated each of us.”

Exploring Creation: 30A is in the final stages of production, with printing commencing by year's end. Production is taking place entirely in Italy, by a legendary printer hand-selected by Zach. 

“As proud as I am of what is within the pages of this book, I’m just as proud and excited about how this book is being produced. Every aspect is as respectful to our environment as possible. FSC-certified paper, organic inks, handmade slipcases, all within the confines of a solar-powered facility. Excitingly, none of this is at the expense of quality, as the presses, inks, and papers used ensure the finest possible book. Looking at each page will feel as if you’re at my gallery viewing my limited editions.”

This set is being offered with your choice of slipcases, each featuring one of Zach’s limited edition captures. Each slipcase edition is limited to only 500 pieces. Once these slipcases are fully collected, they will never be offered again. 

Each book measures 12x12”, and includes over 250 pages (over 500 total) of museum-quality GardaMatt Art stock that will be produced especially for these books—also in Italy. 

“I’ve spent the last five years creating this book. After hundreds of sunrises on 30A beaches and dune lakes, after capturing hundreds of thousands of photographs, after witnessing moments that few have believed until they’ve seen the photographic proof, I’m finally ready to share it all with you. You will be captivated by the once-in-a-lifetime experiences I’ve been fortunate to witness, and when you’re not browsing these books, they’ll make the perfect statement and centerpiece for your residence.”
