This inaugural publication from The Athenaeum Press reimagines Nathaniel Bishop’s journey down the Waccamaw River in a paper canoe more than a century ago. The book is the culmination of a year’s collaboration between students and faculty at Coastal Carolina University. Chasing the Paper Canoe portrays the culture, desolation and stoic beauty of the Waccamaw River. 

The project takes readers on a journey across history and form. Throughout the printed book, readers can see the stunning photographs come to life as streaming video via an augmented reality application on a smart device. The merrying of digital and print in publication design represents the Athenaeum Press' initiative to be a progressive and forward thinking organization.
