Product Description:
A mini-atlas of the United States, with customs and culture, natural wonders and treasures of all 50 states plus Washington, D.C. Diecut card heads are little maps of each state showing capitals, major cities, waterways, and other physical features. There's quite a bit of textual information about each state as well as formatted admission date, nickname, capital, motto, bird, and flower.
So named because they are fan-like indexes with pictures (like a field guide). A new concept in field guides, these 50-card decks are permanently bolted together at the base. Instead of opening it like a book, you fan out the cards to access the “page” you need. Tops of the cards are individually and ingeniously die-cut, providing a visual of each specimen. The body of each card functions as a complete chapter of the guide, containing information about it’s particular subject. Because information is contained on the front and back of each card, there’s actually quite a bit of information - the rough equivalent of a small field-guide page. A helpful index at the end of each helps you quickly find the card you need. Fandex topics appear below, but see our index for more specific information about each one.
