Thanks Irma, I'm glad the review helped, and hope you like the book.
I'm really bad for buying photography books faster than I can 'read' them. I've recently bought 'The Photographer's Eye' and 'The Americans', and have only looked through one of them once; I'm waiting for Amazon to get more copies of Fred Herzog's 'Vancouver Photographs' so that they'll ship it with my copy of Rob Stewart's 'Sharkwater'; this weekend I was visiting family out of town and couldn't pass up a chance to buy 'The Tao of Photography' when I found a copy that hadn't been thumbed through by half of the wannabes in Toronto. (It was a choice between the Tao or the 30th anniversary edition of Freeman Patterson's Photography for the Joy of It.) But with all those bought, now I'll settle down for a few months and take plenty of time to go through them all.
I still have to wonder if my photography book collection is worth more than some of my cameras...
