You are in for an unbelievable treat if you buy this fantastic book. What can I say about it except to say that it is the best photographic book I have ever seen. Segal's photographs are breathtaking. Every one of them is flawless and original and tremendouslydetailed. Every time I look at one of the pictures I see something else in it that I missed before. But that is just half of the story. Segal's writing will keep you reading this book for hours too. Man, can she write. Every story about every person featured in the book gives an interesting detailabout the person's life or an anecdote that I am sure you never heard before. Some of the peopleand stories, like the one about Adam Purple and his "flush toilet", are guaranteed to make youlaugh. Other stories are guaranteed to bring a tear to your eye. Overall, the book is atremendously enjoyable read and well worth ten times it's price. I personally can't wait forSegal's next book. By the way, check out the photograph of Segal in the jacket of the book. Inaddition to being a talented photographer and a brilliant writer, she is a total knock out. A realbeauty. Anyway, buy the book. It is well worth the price.
