Gerardo: magnífica calidad, historia de la fotografía en imágenes y descripciones, su evolución desde el principio de la fotografía hasta nuestros días

Fabio Ivers: J'ai payé pour un produit neuf mais j'ai reçu un produit d'occasion. C'est vrai que le contenu ne change rien, cependant j'ai payé le prix d'un produit neufs quand même

Arturo de la Garza Gonzalez: Es un libro excelente para aquellos que nos guste la fotografía. Con la historia tanto de los personajes relacionados con la técnica, como con fotografías históricas, que describe con gran amplitud. Es un libro grande y pesado, pero aun así se puede leer en las piernas si se acomoda con algún cojín. Altamente recomendable y más sí lo consiguen con algún descuento.

Holtz9: I am a new photographer at age 78. I tote this (big and heavy) book around from restaurant to restaurant, morning after morning, reading a few more pages and studying the great pictures. To put it succinctly, it stokes my imagination and my desire to just get out there and take pictures!

fireguy: I saw this on a coffee table at the dentist office and once I opened it, I found it difficult to stop reading. Insightful and so well researched. Excellent illustrations to clarify the points being made. Not just a historical reference book, it is inspiring and enjoyable.

JL: What I like so much about this book is that Mr. Ang has hit upon the moments of the craft/artform, the pioneering photographers and artists, their perspectives and how all of this relates to history in a clear and concise manner. The book is written chronologically but, thankfully, has a terrific index if one is seeking out the work of a particular photographer. I am a passionate devotee of photography but, having been working at my craft for less than ten years, I consider myself relatively new to the art form. This book has helped me tremendously in learning about the important historical events, inventions and the major players in the history of photography. This is that "go to" reference that will remain on my shelf for whenever I need to look up a particular photographer or genre. I highly recommend this book. Well done, Mr. Ang!

Bignemo: I just love this book. I love it!! Every photographer should have one

K.Jayaram: Outstanding and a areal treasure trove of photographic history and knowledge. A massive book weighing heavily but, worth all that trouble. Only this DK publication has 480 pages whereas, the other publications have lesser pages?! Perhaps, the only book that contains so much details and large size photographs and many not seen before! A life time of reference book It must certainly adorn the book shelf of every living photographer.

Debbie L: I ordered this book for my father-in-law as a birthday gift. The book arrived much sooner than expected (which was great for me since I'm a bit of a procrastinator and usually end up sending "belated" Bday gifts). The seller (Titanic Treasures) included a handwritten note with contact info in case, for any reason, I wasn't completely happy with my purchase. I appreciate that, but won't be needing it because the book was exactly as described: "Gift Quality... Pristine Dust Jacket Protected..." It was absolutely beautiful!! (I don't think I've ever been so excited about a book purchase)! I was proud to gift this book and will definitely do business with this seller again if a future opportunity presents itself.
