LINCOLN — Cameron the Cat, the unofficial mascot of the Nebraska State Capitol, is about to become even more famous.

Cameron, a frequent visitor to the stairs outside the Capitol, is being featured in a new book by photographer and author John Shaw. The book captures the “Capitol Cat” as well as the unique architecture of the Capitol, the unique “Tower on the Plains” that has won acclaim for its design.

On Saturday and Wednesday, Shaw will be signing copies of his book, “Cameron the Capital Cat: A Portrait in Light, Stone, and Fur,” at the Capitol Gift Shop on the building’s first floor. The signings are scheduled from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Wednesday.
