4.0 out of 5 stars A good book, but not a great book, October 11, 2001

By 

Steve Thompson (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Colorado (Hardcover)

As usual, David and Marc Muench have published a fairly solid photography book. However, this is by no means their best book, and it's not even David Muench's best book on Colorado. It appears that Marc Muench took the photos for this book over the last few years, whereas David Muench's photos may have been leftovers that weren't included in 'Colorado II' (which was published before 'Colorado'). After seeing this book, I still rank Colorado II as the #1 book in my list of 'Best Colorado Picture Books' (which can be seen by clicking on my name), and I therefore recommend that book over this one.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not a very thoughtful book composition, February 5, 2007

This review is from: Colorado (Hardcover)

The book has some stunning photographs but I am struck by the frequent clash between the photos on opposite pages. There seems to be no attention to balance in the assembly of photos in this book.
