Cover design an insult to Adams,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ansel Adams and the Photographers of the American West (Hardcover)
Sometimes you can judge a book by its cover! Here Adams' photograph has been downgraded from work of fine art to mere "design element." This is a sure sign of a schlocky book -- no publisher with any clue about fine art would ever obliterate an artist's creation by placing three other pictures on top of it. To do so violates one of the cardinal rules of fine art publishing.

An excellent collection,
By Ashley "nathiebug90" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Ansel Adams and the Photographers of the American West (Hardcover)
I think the only other review so far of this book dismisses it too quickly. It is actually an excellent collection of photographs with an insightful text. Many of the photographs are given a full page and I think this increases their impact over other books I considered buying. The photographs are, themselves, mesmerizing which is to be expected with a photography great such as Ansel Adams, but I also enjoyed being introduced to the work of other artists with whom I was not familiar. Together, it is a complete collection of photography for those who are interested in black and white photography (as I am), landscape photography, or even (I would think) just the American West.

Under a dollar, and perfect inside!,
By denpix - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Ansel Adams and the Photographers of the American West (Hardcover)
This book was under a dollar, and with p&h, still cost me under five dollars. The only damage was a couple of tears on the dust jacket, which I repaired upon arrival with tape on its underside. The book's corners had some minor wear, but all of the pages & photographs were like new.For years I've seen books like these on online stores, amazingly inexpensive, but was reluctant to take a chance -but after being so happy with this book, I'll certainly be open to such purchases in the future. 1 of 2 people found the following review helpful

Bootleg book,
By Peter D. Wagner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Ansel Adams and the Photographers of the American West (Hardcover)
The person that put this book together used cheap copies of the originals from the library of congress when Ansel photographed for the WPA and this book has no affiliation with him or his estate, do not buy this book.
