As everyone who has had their copy knows by now, the book is absolutely superb. The repro is excellent, the layouts first rate, the text just right. To finish off with the quotes is a stroke of genius. Well done the lads! I was really very impressed with it, and Godders is absolutely right - it will sit proudly on a shelf keeping company with Sieff, Ronis, Adams, Newman, Cartier-Bresson, Frank and others. The work inside, in my opinion, is not only of the highest standard - but actually quite important. An international collaboration on this scale is not something of any frequency, and I would seriously suggest that the mechanism be initiated to allow it to be entered into an official internationally recognised repository and catalogue system. Is this something Mr Roberts would look at?
Superlatives exhaust too easy with this book! A few years ago I used to do a cheap and cheerful review of each month's PUG - going through each pic and jotting down a few lines. The standard was (and is) so high that each photo deserved mention, and some even received praise... In the spirit of the PDML Photo Annual 2008-2009, I thought I would have a go at this precious little tome. It's going to take a while... Should be ready by middle of this week. Watch this space. -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
