They say never judge a book by its cover. This is especially true here as the cover is the stuff of nightmares. The content is just great although extremely Diana and Holga biased. It should be essential reading for anyone who is new to film cameras [and not just plastic ones] It feels good, looks good and reads good!
Along with Kevin Meredith's 'Toy Cameras' this would be a great gift for someone ... especially if you sent them along with a toy camera and a roll of film.
Yes. I enjoyed it. This is one that I shall keep and refer to often.

If you are looking for photography as an art - this is your choice!
The fantastic possibilities of a ridiculous plastic camera are described in detail in a fascinating paperback. Lovely photos which I look at again and again. I started TTV (through the viewfinder) photography after reading this book.
Unfortunately I found no other title of this gifted lady.
