[.ca] Drama in the Desert: The Sights and Sounds of Burning Man (ISBN 0972178902)

Wow, the photos, the text, the printing, all are peerless:
From my initial handling of this work, it was obvious that this was no ordinary photo book. The first aspect of it that grabs the eye is the quality of the printing and construction. Next, the attention is drawn into the book, transporting you to this place, this city, which exists for only 7 days once a year. And the subject(s) of the images look surreal, hyper-real, and dream-like, pulling you into the pages, so that even if just for a moment, your imagination (or memory, if you have been there) allows you to BE there. Next, when you have settled enough, after paging through to see these captured moments of manifested thoughts, the text goes deeper, touching the heart. If you have heard about Burning Man, have read about it, seen a few photo's and have wondered what it is like, and have not yet attended, this book will bring you closer than any other. If you HAVE been there, this book may bring both tears to your eyes (from rememberances that affect you so deeply) and laughter to your lips. Also, for those who have attended, and wanted to have something, anything, to try and help communicate what it is like, this is it. In one word, as it regards photo books in general, and the photo books about Burning Man, Drama in the Desert is without peer.

This book is exhilerating!:
Reading this book really really brought me back to the playa. The images are amazing! And the stories, and the poetry, are quite absorbing--they really reminded me of what is was like to be at Burning Man. And don't even get me started on the dvd! What struck me most was that this book really focuses on the art and experience of the festival, in a way that would make it a very good book to share with somebody who's never been there. Heck, I could even share this book with my parents (and I never imagined I would be able to share so much about Burning Man with them until now).

So great I bought 7 copies for gifts and one for myself!:
I bought your book for my son's 22nd birthday. He loved the book so much that I bought myself a copy. Last weekend I watched the DVD and was amazed at how beautiful the photography and music is. I went to Burning Man for the past two years and the experience has completely changed my life. I get inspired by the creativity of all the beautiful people that work so hard to make it the greatest art show in the world. I decided to share my experiences with my relatives this Christmas by sending them all Drama in the Desert as presents, so I ordered another six copies. Thank you for everything. You are an amazing group of artists.

Full-color visuals and personal memories:
Based on the images of Holly Kreuter, Drama In The Desert: The Sights And Sounds Of Burning Man is a book and DVD set collecting full-color visuals and personal memories drawn from the harsh desert of Black Rock City, Nevada. Capturing the sometimes quizzical, sometimes cruel, sometimes dramatic art and documentary efforts of seventy contributors, Drama In The Desert is strongly recommended as an eclectic, unique, and vibrant experience impressing its fiery artistic message upon the reader's spirit.

Awesome DVD, beautiful book!:
This book will take you back to Burning Man but it's the DVD that I want to rave about. Watch it over and over. Beautifully done. A wonderful effort. Thanks to Holly and thanks to Bam Bam!
