this book is truly living. the first time i saw it i realized i had to own a copy. beautiful photographs printed on quality paper; pictures that actually live and breathe, and words that sing themselves off the pages. after "stumbling" upon this book twice in my travels and actually having an opportunity to read it once through before i obtained my own copy, i began to feel dreadlocks growing from the top of my head. since i purchased mine from amazon.com i've read it several times and use it as a reference and meditation guide. i am never without it in my journeys. i recommend itations to any one interested in rastafarianism, one love, world peace and unity; to anyone with dreadlocks or even thinking of cultivating them this book will begin to show you what it is all about. from the heart- Jah Rastafari!

although a book that is rarely ever seen other than at a ROOTS REGGAE shop or maybe even a DEAD HEAD store, this is DEFINATELY the most beautiful, picturesque, and inspiring book on the life of rasta. the photo's, essay's, poetry, biblical passages all contribute to the magic within the two covers of this book. be forewarned, this book is not necessarily meant to be an introductory book into the rasta culture...this book is DOCUMENTING the rasta.

although, granted, this book is not for everyone (yet), if you have any interest in the ways of island culture and the place of the rasta movement in our world, please pick up this beautiful book.

i feel that the second itation wasn't as strong as this, the first. the third is also fairly interesting but this first and original itation is THE ONE.

Just wanted to let u know that there are at least to more books in this set, Itation 2+3, i have Book 1, a great read, mainly composedf of poems and spiritual words, has a section on the Arawaks, and loads of beautiful pictures of Jahs Work (Flowers!!) lovely, a must to all Rasta's or anyone interested.<br /> Pete,N.Wales,UK

This is a good book for learning about the Rastafarian culture. Although it may not be great for a beginning read, it gives lots of cultural information from a Jamacian's viewpoint. I would definetly recommend it. The knowledge is somewhat confusing, so be sure to follow it up with other books or a conversation with someone versed in the religion or culture.

THIS BOOK IS FULL OF PRETTY PICTURES THAT GIVE YOU THE FEELING THAT YOUR RIGHT THERE IN JAMAICA. ONE THING I DIDNT LIKE ABOUT THE BOOK IS HOW LITTLE INFORMATION IT HAD IN IT. THERE WERE SECTIONS IN THERE THAT WERE VERY INFORMATIVE BUT IT WAS PREDOMINATELY A PICTURE BOOK. ANOTHER THING IS THE LAYOUT AND OVERALL SIZE OF THE BOOK, ITS KIND OF SMALL I WAS EXPECTING SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT BIGGER. BUT STILL A GOOD BOOK OVERALL! READ IT AND LIVE IT!
ONE LOVE
JAH BLESS

This a lovely book to read for anyone interested in RastafarI or a Rastafarian themselves. The pictures only add to the beautiful images that the poems create in the reader's mind.

Reading the Itations books is always like goin' home, comforting and blessed with words and images of Jah. Like no other book I have ever read, I use quotes from it to help my friends when they are in need of spiritual advice. Give Thanks and Praise to Millard for sharing these works.
