4.0 out of 5 stars Fine exterior photography, but few interior views., June 30, 1999

By A Customer

A fine book, but as usual with Motorbooks Publications, few if any interior views of the Boeing 777. Excellent exterior photography and descriptive narrative fail to make up for the lack of cockpit and interior fixture shots.

4.0 out of 5 stars Informative and Eye-Pleasing But..., April 9, 2002

By	Matthew M. Yau "Voracious reader" (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Guy Norris and Marker Wagner come together and present us a very informative pictorial on Boeing 777. The pictures are breath-taking. The prose traced back to the jetliner's planning, testing, certification, and current operation. What I am not pleased with the book is that it lacks info on carriers that operate the aircrafts, workings from the deck, and pictures of the interior. I do giver merit to the marvelous colored pictures of the aircrafts in this book. ***Some quick facts of the aircraft: the Boeing 777 can fly nonstop for 16 hours. The seating capacity is around 325-380. The major operators of Boeing 777 are Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific Airways (based in Hong Kong) and our very own United Airlines which flies daily nonstop from San Francisco to London and Paris on Boeing 777.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Blend of Photos and Text - Working Together, June 20, 2001

By	L, Kabong "[e-mail]" (The Southwest) - See all my reviews

I have seen photographer Wagner at work and I'm always amazed how he can take something ordinary or otherwise over-photographed and bring a new perspective to it. How many airplane photos have we all seen? Yet Wags manages to bring a fresh vision to the 777.

You're almost tempted to skim the pages and luxuriate in the photos. That would be a mistake! The Norris text cruises along with his Jet-A-crisp style. There's very little company braggadocio here, yet the reader gets a true appreciation of "Boeing's Magnificent Seventh."

This book, with its perfect blend of informative text and dynamic photos (not to mention its nice square corners) belongs on every enthusiast's bookshelf.
