5.0 out of 5 stars The snapshot images speak for themselves in this captivating compilation, August 5, 2006
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Libraries (Hardcover)
137 color plates distinguish Candida Hofer Libraries, beautifully capturing seats of knowledge around the world from the Pierpont Morgan Library in New York to the Bibliotheque nationale de France in Paris, the Villa Medici in Rome and others. Aside from a brief introduction, no essays intersperse the eye-catching plates, each of which takes up a whole page with a blank page opposite in a two-page spread. The snapshot images speak for themselves in this captivating compilation highly recommended for bibliophile's coffee tables and photography shelves.

4.0 out of 5 stars I can't bring myself to spend the money.....yet, May 4, 2009
By M. V. Hartman (Rochester, NY) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Libraries (Hardcover)
I borrowed this book from the library to see if I was willing to spend the money on it. The answer is not quite yet. But nonetheless, it was absolutely gorgeous, and someday it will be in my collection. I'm keeping an eye out for a decent price on a used copy.

The pictures are simply beautiful, and beautifully simple. There were pictures of libraries that I could imagine myself holing up in for days, looking at books, and other libraries that I can imagine just standing in, looking around in awe, unable to read a word.

5.0 out of 5 stars Libraries, April 7, 2008
This review is from: Libraries (Hardcover)
A picture is worth a thousand words! This book says so much and yet there are only a handful of words on each page identifying the library in the photo. As I was "reading" through this book, I realized that I have been in many of the cities or countries where these libraries are located. I missed some beautiful sites. For anyone who has an interest in libraries, this is a must "read." I will be giving this to my son, who is an architect. His specialty is libraries.
