This review is from: Mahabalipuram (Monumental Legacy) (Hardcover)
I just received this book and these are my first impressions. I haven't read it yet, I have just glanced through it. I really got the book because I thought it would have a lot of good pictures in it. First (and importantly) this is physically a small book. It measures about 6"x9". So the pictures in it are also on the small side. Each chapter starts with a small black and white picture that is 1"x1.5" This is so small that even with a magnifying glass it really leaves me wanting to see a lot more detail. Then there are some bigger black and white pictures scattered through the book whose size is like 1/2 page or 1/3 page or so, but I can not get as much detail as I would wish for from these pictures. Then there are some color pictures, generally 2 to a page so they are not large (remember, the physical size of this book is small) and these pictures don't allow me to see as much fine detail as I would wish. I was really hoping that the pictures would be better so that I could see the finer details of the monuments. So I'm disappointed on that count, no doubt it's my fault for not reading more carefully about the book, but I didn't find any other selection on Amazon. Maybe the text of the book is good? So, those are my comments. If you want a book with good pictures of Mahabalipuram maybe you will be disappointed with this book.
