5.0 out of 5 stars ROBERT FRANK'S BEST (with the Americans, of course), December 1, 2005

By	Thomas Canet (Madrid) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The Americans is a milestone in photography. Everybody should know that, and Robert Frank will surely be remembered for this book. But, what was before, and after the Americans? The answer is in The Lines of my Hand.
In these pages one can discover the strength of his vision before publishing The Americans, with pictures from England, Wales, Switzerland. And for me, what is more interesting, is all his evolution after the above mentioned book. His more and more experimental work in his house of Mabou. His loneliness, his isolation. In this book, all of his greatest pictures are printed (Sick of goodbys and Love, faith,... being the highlights).
Talking about the object itself, the printing is fantastic. It's a large format book, beautifully binded and with very good reproductions.
Really, for the price, it's a real bargain. Grab the first one you find.
