Photos are terrible quality. I can not believe Forry would allow his name to be associated with such a poor effort.

I love Forry to death and was looking foward to an incredible archive of photos. What is in this book are horrible scans. First off the cover of the book was not printed at 300 dpi and lines are all jagged and blurry. The photos inside are barely visible. I'm shocked that Forry let this out being a publisher himself.

3.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful archive - not so wonderful reproduction, November 22, 2008

This review is from: Famous Forry Fotos: Over 70 Years of AckerMemories (Paperback)

I'm a bif fan of vintage fandom - the type, pre-internet, where things had to be searched down and when a "find" was all the more exciting because of it. The material contained within the pages of this book is A1 quality - views of the Ackermansion in its heyday, Forry with a host of fabulous fanatics - truly wonderful stuff. However this material is let down by poor quality reproductions. One review states there are new and improved higher resolution photos - I'd hate to have seen them before the "improvement". All this said, the book does warrant a purchase for Forry fans and those interested in vintage fandom.
