Amazon Customer said Disappointment. This book might have been excellent but the printing quality of the photographs is simply not good enough.Its content is excellent and the original photographs were no doubt stunning and thought provoking, However, a book that leans on its photographs should be printed wellAnd that is where something went wrong (or perhaps the technology selected for the physical creation of the book was simply not good enough to do justice to the photographs).
