This book is a beautiful addition to any art book collection. It is great to see all the things that have been done with polaroid, and has inspired me to do more with it. From polaroid transfers to Hockney.

This book publishes the works of an exhibit held to celebrate the first 50 years of Polaroid photography. The works are from the Polaroid Collection that was started by Edwin Land to involve professional photographers in the development of his technology. Eventually this collaboration developed into a formal collection. This book gives us a wonderful glimpse of the great works that have been created using this medium. The photographs are arranged by decade which allows the reader to see the development in technique and technology. Each picture is accompanied by the name of the photographer, their country, the title of the work,the date, and the type of film used. The only thing I felt was missing was a some description of the works by either the photographers or the editors.
