The copy I have was printed by Belden Hill Press, and with few exceptions the black and white photos are fine.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst Reproductions Ever!
I have seen and own many books filled with Ansel Adams' photography. This book contains the WORST reproductions of his photographs that I have ever seen. All of the photos are grainy and have poor contrast. The problems with these photographs are found only in this particular book. The selection of photographs in some sections also leaves much to be desired.

The copy I have was printed by Belden Hill Press, and with few exceptions the black and white photos are fine. The exceptions are of President and Mrs. Ford with Adams and an opening ceremony of the Panama Pacific International Exposition. It should be noted that a number of these photo plates came from other institutions and have been reproduced many times, and the master print may or may not have been used in successive printings.
