3.0 out of 5 stars
Not necessarily the first book you should buy on megaliths,
By A Customer
This review is from: Images of Prehistory: Views of Early Britain (Hardcover)
If you're interested in Megaliths, this is a good choice, if not one of the best. The writing is well-done and thorough. The photographs are of excellent quality and show lots of thought. The only drawbacks are sometimes the photos are just too small to do justice to the subject, which seemed a little strange in a large-format book that allows large photos. Also, all the photos are in black and white, which works frequently, but also lacks the soul and dynamism of color. There's nothing wrong with black and white, and the photos are superb, but an entire book, at this selling price, was a bit of disappointment. I think a mix of color and black and white would have earned this book 5 stars. If this is your only book on megaliths, I'd look further for a color volume. But if you're a collector, this is a very good choice. The quality of the layout, paper, photos, printing and binding is excellent, which justifies the expense for a collector or one who especially enjoys black and white photography.
