Roundtable approached agricultural authority and photographer Grant Heilman about creating a book that would record the vanishing farm in the American landscape.

| Nickelodeon
sent a team of filmmakers and photographers all around the world to record
children's thoughts about the future for their Nickellennium project--24
hours of TV programming aired on January 1, 2000. In May of 1999, they realized
that a companion book might make a nice corporate holiday gift: THE FUTURE
ACCORDING TO KIDS was born. We culled quotations from 6000 pages of transcripts
to accompany the 200 extraordinary photographs we selected for inclusion
in this elegantly designed tribute to kids, which was delivered in time
for a holiday mailing.

a similar approach to that used in the hugely successful Field
Guide to American Antique Furniture, Roundtable conceived THE VISUAL

Two eminent illustrators created detailed line drawings of every domestic
style, from the tipi to the postmodern seaside house.
