Customer Review: Too many words, not enough images

This book is more of a written history of street photography than a visual history. Too much space is given up to text, and there aren't enough images to satisfy. Nevertheless, the book is an interesting read, or should I say an interesting skim. I skimmed through the text, stopping to read interesting bits here and there. Had those interesting bits been retained, much of the rest of the text eliminated and more images included, it would be a 5-star book. One other comment is that the emphasis is on American street photography, to the point that some notable non-American street photographers are excluded completely.

Customer Review: street photography descibed in detail

A history of street photography described in both text and photos. The authors are well knowledged in the field and provide a very well layed out book that is enjoyable to read. A great coffee table book.
