To Make It Home: Photographs of the American West 1 review
Robert Adams
Aperture Foundation Inc, 1989
Grand Overview
I consider this book, a good way to begin to appreciate, Mr Adams' life and work. It has helped to strengthen my understanding of the images that Mr Adams makes, and helped me focus on my own journey with my cameras for the last 18 years or so.

A marvel of a book
This large format (10X14") book is a marvel to view. The B&W photos are nicely printed and most are in either a full or double page format. Plate 26 is the very famous photo of a man jumping over, or rather into, a pool of water and about to touch it with his heel, which will connect his figure ...

This book (and the next volume) will surely become the standard reference for anyone wanting to know about photobooks and in creating a new word for photographs in a book perhaps this will create a new publishing genre too.
