I like that it gives motivation to step out with your camera. For some reason I find Leica camera owners conservative. But I want to stretch boundaries with it. Astro, time lapse, etc…so I found this book and it’s excellent images the motivation I need. Review: The Book is Awesome, The Seller is Not. - Let me tell you about the great book first. The book is really good. Awesome even. It does what the title say, provides "Inspiration" for photographers who need some ideas thrown at them every once in awhile. It's a heavy well made book with thick paper and quality photos. It's also well written. Brief but less is more sometimes. Half of the text is in German, but for me it didn't bother me one bit. Let me just say that the 1 star is because the seller put a $65 book in an envelope...wait for it...USPS. I would like to say so much more, but I think you can see what I'm saying. The envelope was torn and the book damaged. I hope they got someone new in the shipping department (grin). Anyhow. I liked the book enough that I contacted the author and she provided another desertcart seller...so now I'm happy that I have an undamaged book.
