Format:Paperback
From comparing the myriad of items dealt with in this book, after looking at the table of contents, against the relative small number of pages, I thought this is going to be another contents-deceiving phony book, full of nicely printed color pictures, period. What a surprise! Every comment Mr Kopelow has to offer about the many aspects of commercial photography, is always deeply thought, clearly analysed, and concisely written, ranging from quite valuable to, as in the case of his approach to home color printing, just sensational. His approach to the digital beast is bold and inspiring. Besides, or perhaps most important of all, after reading the book, I am not only technically better imformed than before, but quite refreshed by the original and deeply honest personality of the writer, whose love for photography as well as for human beings is quite transparent. Exceptional value.
