I think the only other review so far of this book dismisses it too quickly. It is actually an excellent collection of photographs with an insightful text. Many of the photographs are given a full page and I think this increases their impact over other books I considered buying. The photographs are, themselves, mesmerizing which is to be expected with a photography great such as Ansel Adams, but I also enjoyed being introduced to the work of other artists with whom I was not familiar. Together, it is a complete collection of photography for those who are interested in black and white photography (as I am), landscape photography, or even (I would think) just the American West.
