Format:Paperback
Anyone who has an interest in photography will probably have heard of Magnum. This book captures the essence of (probably) the world's best photo-journalism organisations. It is filled with images - many of which I'd forgotten - that will make you catch your breath.
This is the paperback version of Magnum Magnum which is identical in every way (apart from weight and size) of the hardback version - same pictures, same presentation. The difference is that the paperback version can be read on your lap without its weight cutting off the circulation to your feet !
Great book, fantastic pictures, constant source of inspiration.

Format:Hardcover
A beautifully crafted work, presenting key works from the Magnum members in a simple, classic style. The variety of the subjects and the quality of their representation allows the reader/viewer to immerse themselves into a variety of situations and draw their own conclusions and feelings.
Highly recommended.

Format:Hardcover
An introduction to the inspirational world of the Magnum Photographic Agency - a collection of images from the some of the world's most talented photojournalists throughout history. Superb quality printing coupled with informative text.
The only down side is that it will make your own photography look rubbish by comparison!

Outstanding in every way
But caveat emptor! This will cost you a lot more than you expect as you proceed to purchase more books by members of this classic photo agency.
