A beautiful collection of photos

[Jessica · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is beautiful. I love how the photos were organized and the context behind why the collection was arranged the way it was. I wish some of the images were brighter so I could see more details in the photos but that seemed like a printing issue and not a photography one. I had a paperback copy but I'm wondering if people had the same issue with the hardcover version.
