You set me thinking.."I have seen that book"..." 2hrs
later after turning the house upside down I found it.
Somehow it had been moved from my "photography"
bookshelf" and was now in the spare bedroom. I really
must get organised!
I can second what Brian says about the book , 75
illustrations of very good quality. Some have an
almost Luminous quality about them.
I would certainly give them wall space. Now all of
you get on your favourite book search......
