this book is awesome! for fans of the little lomo book that comes with the regular lomo camera, this coffee table size book is immensely more hypnotic. it features lomo photography from all over the world, documenting different lomo photographers' pictures for the last ten years. it's amazing what this camera has inspired in people. this book is loads of fun--i see something new in it every time i thumb through it! one thing this book will certainly inspire is the desire to shoot your own photography with the lomo!

I purchased this book at the same time as my Lomo LCA, my first foray into the world of Lomo. The book contains an amazing assortment of Lomos, showcasing the seemingly limitless possibilities of Lomography. It is an inspiration to both new and experienced Lomographers, and provides plenty of excellent material to peruse. For parents, be aware that some nudity and violent images are part of the collection.

What keeps me from a 5 star rating is the horizontal orientation of the book. While I "get" that it's part of the point, it makes the book a bit unwieldly and difficult to just flip through both as a reference and as a coffee table pick-up. Overall, however, if you are or have interest in becoming a Lomographer, it is a must have.

This book is stuffed with amazing images. Some are of the mundane, others of violence, or nature, or pets, and basically anything else you can think of. However, all are inspirational to look at. I must admit I'm fairly new to lomography, but I think a seasoned lomographer would still thoroughly enjoy this book. There is so much to look at it would be hard to get tired of this book. It is pretty expensive, but if you are into lomography and have a space where you can keep this out and look at it from time to time, it's definitely worth the price.

Initially send me the wrong book but allowed me to keep it while sending the correct book. Book finally arrived over a month after ordering.
