"Packed chalk full of information, but probably THE most dry educational book I've ever read. There is absolutely nothing in here to keep you interested. But very informative. I'd recommend keeping it as a reference but there are better books to for an entertaining narative of the history."
"I read this whole textbook cover to cover for a class. each section is brief, yet very informative. I'd say every photographer should own this and have a good understanding of photographic history."
