Super

[Christian · Rating 4 out of 5]

Mostly just highly detailed pictures of people who have changed the world politically and globally. It does come with a cool nifty bio and historical events that each president, king, prime minister has done. Great book to brush through.

Really nice coffee table book - the portraits are fantastic. Wanted the informational blurb to go alongside the portrait, but hey what can you do.

Excelente, entendamos que es un libro de fotografías realizadas por Platon, quien es uno de los mejores en este estilo y genio de las portadas de Newsweek.
