My sister and I think this is a GREAT book. We love how diverse and unique it is.

Thanks!

This collection is an absolute pleasure to browse. Rising like a phoenix from all the "stuff" we usually overlook, Buchanan-Smith has compiled a work - both sublime and stark - that forces the reader to acknowledge the potential value of everything.

Speck is billed as a 'curious collection of uncommon things': from close-up photos of lint to very different bottles of sand from beaches around the world, this pairs unusual images of common things with reflections on what makes them unique. Packed with color photos and intriguing essays.

An excellent book about those things in our visual landscape that we overlook, under appreciate, or simply see differently. Speck makes you want to go out, look around, and take in the world through new, more creative eyes. Inspiring, informative, and fun. Plus it's simply beautiful to look at it--full of fine photography and all manner of striking images. You'll keep going back to it. Highly recommended.
