The hyper-realism of the photos would be a real turn-off for me if the pics in the book look anything like they do on my monitor. However, the book tease clearly shows that Jay has done a good job relating to these men, and has worked hard to build their trust and tell their story. It's given me a few ideas. Thanks for posting the link.
