Sniffin Publishes Second Coffee Table Book a<\/strong>bout Wyoming Just in Time for Christmas<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Wyoming author and journalist Bill Sniffin has just made available copies of his newest coffee table book about Wyoming, called MY WYOMING 101 Special Places.\u00a0<\/em>The book is a 156-page effort featuring 42 photographers and 156 color photos about the state, including 14 foldout pages.<\/p>\n

His earlier book,\u00a0Wyoming\u2019s 7 Greatest Natural Wonders<\/em>, published in 2012, has already sold 15,000 copies and is believed to be the best selling coffee table book in the state.<\/p>\n

Sniffin, of Lander, is a photographer, journalist and entrepreneur who has lived in Wyoming for 44 years. \u00a0His weekly newspaper column appears in several newspapers each week including the Rock Springs Rocket Miner, Rawlins Daily Times, Lander Journal<\/em>, Riverton Ranger<\/em>, the Cheyenne Wyoming Tribune Eagle<\/em>, the Evanston Uinta County Herald<\/em>, Sheridan Online<\/em> and occasionally in the Casper Journal<\/em>, Laramie Boomerang<\/em>, Pine Bluffs Post<\/em>, Powell Tribune, Sundance Times, Kemmerer Gazette, Moorcroft Leader, Afton Star Valley Independent <\/em>and others.<\/p>\n

Sniffin\u2019s newest book, MY WYOMING 101 Special Places,<\/em> will be on sale the end of November. With the success of the first coffee table-style book, it only seemed practical to follow up two years later with a companion book that featured not only \u201cnatural\u201d images but photos of man-made places and people in the photos enjoying Wyoming.<\/p>\n

Sniffin has written three other books, which are available at fine bookstores and online at www.wyomingwonders.com<\/a>.\u00a0 They are all compilations of his columns.\u00a0 They include Strong Winds, Blowing Snow, Slick in Spots<\/em> which was published in 2011; High Altitudes, Low Multitudes<\/em> in 2003; and The Best Part of America in 1993.<\/em><\/p>\n

Over the years, Bill has been honored with the state tourism industry\u2019s highest awards, the BIG WYO award and the Tony Bevinetto Friend of Tourism Award. His wife Nancy was honored in 2011 with Wyoming\u2019s highest award for volunteerism, the Jefferson Award.<\/p>\n

Sniffin and his wife are former owners of newspapers in Wyoming, Montana, South Dakota and Hawaii. The Sniffins have raised four children and have ten grandchildren. Most recently, they sold an advertising agency they founded called Wyoming Inc. and also sold, along with daughter Shelli Johnson, an internet tourism company, yellowstonepark.com.<\/p>\n

Bill is the former chairman of the Wyoming Travel Commission, vice-chairman of the Wyoming Aeronautics Commission and has also been a member of the Wyoming P16 Education Commission. Sniffin ran for governor in 2002, losing in the Republican primary. He is on the board of directors of the Mountain West AAA Auto Club, for Alaska, Montana and Wyoming and the Wyoming Travel Industry Coalition.<\/p>\n
