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.

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.

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.

Pretty good book on the Boeing 777 but not as good as I had hoped. I was hoping for a little more detail on the different airlines uses of the aircraft and possibly more interior photos. All around a good book, but not great.

This book go's through EVERYTHING about the Boeing 777, from the first computer drawings, to the test flights and first deliveries. I love it, and you will too.

This one's extremely informative and full of top-notch photos. Everytime I see a 777 at DIA I think of this book. It's great for any enthusiast.

Probably the ultimate book on the triple 7 - from the conception to the first delivery. Excellent photography too!

This book is great if you want to be updated in the aviation industry, but I found it a lillte short. Awesome pictures.

I recmmend this well-written book for anyone interested in commercial aviation and high-tech aircraft

When it comes to telling it how it is in aerospace, nobody does it better than Norris. This is a well told story of a remarkable aircraft, backed by great pictures. A browse isn't good enough for this book - it's a must for any serious collector's plane library. Terrific stuff.
