[.ca] Photography of the 20th Century (ISBN 3822855146)

Great book, too small. I'm looking for a full size edition!!:
I noticed the book several years ago in a clothing store, the GAP , I believe. The edition I saw was a full size, coffee table format. Now that I can afford to purchase one for myself, I cannot find the full sized edition. The material of the book is first rate. The new format, however, does not allow for a relaxed read - one has to almost crack the binding to open the book sufficiently to read it. The information and photography in this book deserve a larger and more accessible format.

Full of History and Wonderful Images:
This was the first book of photography I ever bought. It gives a great overview for the genre and contains hundreds of fantastic images. I especially enjoy the fact that the book gives a brief history on all the featured artists. I highly recomend this book as a starting point to the wonderful and artistic world of photography!

A wonderful overview of the art of photography.:
This book really delivers. It includes beautiful and powerful images along with a clear synopsis of each artist's life and work. Very educational, inspiring and useful. Especially for those who love photography and are intersted in obtaining a clear look at the history of the art form. Full of haunting images and a great size. A must have for any photo student, young or old!

A Wonderful Collection:
This is a wonderful collection of photographs. I was a little disappointed as a number of non-continental photographers, obviously not part of the collecion in Cologne, could not be included in this volume. I was also disappointed in the biographical sketches as they were sparse and filled with antiseptic information, but this was due more to a space restriction than conscience oversight. All in all an excellent volume.
