First off, this is a KIDS book. Interested in Margaret Bourke-White's work I picked this up from the photography section of our local bookstore, but quickly found the simple declarative sentences absolutely maddening.

As a child's book I rate it 4 to 5 stars. Great photo selection and actually quite a lot of interesting information on Ms. Bourke-White's life. As an adult book maybe one star (and that one for the good selection of photos).

I didn't know who Margaret Bourke-White was until I received this book as a gift. I have always been interested in photography but never considered it as a career until I read this book. The photos that are in the book are very inspirational. Reading about her life and what she went through to make her dream come true was very interesting. I have had this book for two years and still enjoy looking through her photos.

Wonderful photos in this book that often tell more about Bourke-White than the narritive. Not much depth here but a great coffee-table book.
