It's here -- now better late than never. If you're serious fan of photojournalism and photo design you must have it. Of all the photo books on the market concerning the events of September 11th, this great non-for-profit book is one of the best I have seen to date. And I've seen a lot of them. "Endure: renewal from ground zero" is a completely noncommercial, unsentimental and yet heart breaking book. Beautifully and modestly produced; with such a dignity and great photographic passion; with all the profits, it seems, destined for good cause. I'm glad I bought it, don't miss it!

Incredible images of September 11 and its rarely covered aftermath. I have not seen such pictures ever before. Intelligent and intuitive book design helps in reader's self-reflection. Probably one of the best books on the market covering that vast and tragic moment in our history. I like the intimate tone it uses. Phenomenal photos show a totally different side of 9/11. Quiet struggle of everyday heroes, no explosions or cliches. The effect is remarkable. More whispers than screams in its visual presentation. Expertly edited. This is a first rate book, I strongly recommend it.

I got my own copy through the friend of the friend back last summer; later I found two more copies on Ebay but only in ÒOK conditionÓ Š this is my only "beef" with it: although beautifully printed, it is softbound; as a book designer myself I only wish they published it as a hardcover. They should've thought about it. It is such a small treasure. IÕm glad to see it on Amazon.com Š I guess I missed it before.

They say that a picture is worth a thousand words, and that is especially true of the incredible images contained within the covers of this intelligent and quite ÒdifferentÓ photo book. While purposefully restrained and reflective in tone ÒEndureÓ speaks emotional volumes.

This book is small in scale, but large with impact. A book especially powerfully reminiscent for someone who has witnessed September 11th human tragic with his or her own eyes.
