It is one of the most widely visited tourist places in the world and more than four million people visit it every year.

The Statue of Liberty Encyclopedia is not just the history of one monument but the story of our nation and its far reaching cultural and ideological roots. Elegant and eloquent, the book will stand as an emotional, educational and entertaining testament to the statue's enduring significance.
