"I had hoped that this was going to be a good introduction to the concepts of graphic composition. Instead, there's a lot of opinion and information based on the author's experiences but not backed up with any kind of research. To be fair, the author admits as much (akthough he does so late in the book). I wouldn't say that the information is worthless, but it's more of a way to stimulate thought after one understands the basics."
"Another book I've only just started, but this is an excellent coverage of composition. It's a tough read, but a good way for the photographer to learn the skills that have been around long before photography!
The only down side is that 90% of the book is in B&W - not really bad in terms of coverage of the subject, but higher quality, full-color photos would have made this a classier book. (There IS a full color section in the middle of the book)."
