Format:Paperback
World Press Photo is an important annual of record but this year's (2008) edition does not live up to the established standards. Only some of the photographs earn their place, but the chief problem is one of design which shows off the designer's craft at the expense of the photographers. Many of the images are reproduced on too large a scale and, being printed over two pages, cannot be properly viewed across the binding. This was already a defect in the 07 edition but this year the results are even more damaging.
Format:Paperback
Have purchased this book since 1994 and for the first time from Amazon, which was both easier and cheaper compared with a direct purchase from Holland.
Format:Paperback
Images rate 5 stars, layout rates 1 star!
I agree with the other reviews, I've no idea why World Press Photo are playing around with the layout, but I wish they wouldn't. The content is of the highest standard, as usual, but the book layout is all over the place! I found it very difficult to actually follow and had to keep referring back to remind myself to what category an image belonged!
I have all the World Press Photo books since 1998 and there is a downward spiral as far as image presentation and clarity is concerned. I could accept the style of presentation if this were an art book, but it is supposed to be a showcase of the best in photojournalism!
World Press Photo, please go back to your previously high production standards, this work deserves to be viewed properly, we don't need the arty layout, the work is strong enough to stand by itself!

This year's edition shoes some important images that sum of the year. Much is given to the awful events of '07, with the Afghanistan and Iraq conflicts featuring heavily. Read more
