Why oh why didn't the publisher pay a bit more for better color separations or for whatever would have done justice in print to the excellent photos collected for this book? The text is the predictable work of a team of writer/researchers, but they've done a competent job of presenting lots of information in an accessible narrative as befits this kind of packaged book and the packaging itself is nice: good design, printed on coated stock. 10.25x10.25" Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
