Quite simply, this a marvellous book of wonderful photos that should delight any photographer. The perfect simplicity of Jane Bown's work, all in mono, is very pleasing.
Note..Search Channel Four News website for a fine little video about Jane and her work, relating to the exhibition at the Guardian offices, of photos in this book.

A superb book with some wonderful portraits, all in black and white, taken over the past 50 years of a whole host of famous and now not so famous faces. I bought the book as a present for my wife and whilst she hadn't previously heard of Jane Brown she appreciated and enjoyed this well presented book. A great selection of the work from this very talented photographer.
Format:Hardcover
I bought this for my husband for his birthday, and he is thrilled. He says it is a great book. Hence my earning brownie points!!
