'A magnificent venture.. grand in scale and content' - John Banville, Financial Times Magazine
'Brimming with photographic masterpieces ... some of the greatest pictures ever taken' - Sunday Times
'A fascinating collection of some of the most important reportage photography in modern times, and an essential tome' - What Digital Camera
'Beautifully presented … a sturdily wieldy volume which feels as though it will easily withstand the repeated thumbings its contents deserve. The real triumph, though, is the format: each featured photographer is represented by a selection of their work … chosen by one of their colleagues …. This book is an essential purchase. It's a must for anyone with any interest in photography; anyone lacking such an interest would surely soon develop one after glancing through its pages' - Oomska.co.uk
