From Library Journal:
These two new publications celebrate the American flag as an icon in very different ways. Author, graphic designer, and collector Hinrichs offers a striking visual history of America's flag in its many different depictions. His 3000-piece collection, some of which is showcased in Long May She Wave, was recently exhibited at the American Institute of Graphic Arts. The flag appears in various roles, including as a celebratory object, an art and folk object, and a political symbol. Rather than actual flags, this book shows the familiar stars and stripes in an endless array of forms, from a war protest pin to Cheyenne moccasins to a Barbie doll's dress. Each item is identified, and the date and dimensions are provided when available. Several entries have descriptive annotations.

Barn doors, smalltown porches, a sizable swath of pavement on the Mall in Washington, D.C., Jasper Johns paintings, digital art, neon lights and the big blue sky are some of Old Glory's backdrops in The American Flag, a photographic tribute. With an introduction by Whitney Smith, dozens of unattributed images and an actual three-foot-by-five-foot flag, readers can enjoy a ready-made, easy-on-the-eyes patriotism. Book and flag come in a nice package and would make a fine gift for the fervent.
