Texas Star

Assouline’s coffee-table book *Texas Star* takes readers on an unforgettable city trip to Texas, located in the southern United States. In this beautifully illustrated book, readers will discover all the wonderful things Texas has to offer and why you should visit. 

In Texas, everything is bigger. It’s a truism, and yet somehow still an understatement. Texas spans 268,000 square miles—vast enough to encompass deserts and pine forests, sprawling ranches and starry skies, Gulf Coast beaches, and rugged canyons carved by ancient rivers. But size alone doesn’t explain the Lone Star State’s appeal. It’s the swagger. The self-assured spirit that permeates every roadside barbecue joint and every towering skyscraper in downtown. The unshakable belief that anything worth doing is worth doing bigger and bolder.

From the honky-tonks in Austin, where Willie Nelson still performs, to the Space Center in Houston, where humanity reached for the moon: Texas has always been a land of extremes. Cowboys and oil barons. Bluebonnets and tumbleweeds. Tex-Mex sizzling on cast-iron skillets and brisket slowly smoked for fourteen hours. In Marfa, minimalist art installations rise from the high desert. In Dallas, world-class museums form the foundation of a thriving arts district. San Antonio’s River Walk winds through centuries of history, while Fort Worth’s Stockyards keep the Old West alive. The culture here is unmistakable, shaped by Mexican heritage, Southern traditions, Western mythology, and a fiercely independent spirit. The book *Texas Star* opens the door to a state that has never been content to follow, but only to lead, create, and define itself against all odds. Welcome to a place where ‘Don’t Mess with Texas’ isn’t just a slogan, but a way of life.
