"It's the typically eclectic array from TASCHEN, the publishing house that veers between the sublime and the ridiculous. And we wouldn't want it any other way.... TASCHEN elevates photography books to a new status and desirability. Whatever the subject - and its price - TASCHEN books are always beautifully produced, layed out and packaged."
Photo District News, New York
