The world as seen by the legendary Magnum photographers is really increadable. This book is and will always be a photographic masterpiece. When do we get further editions? Well done Magnum

This book is a "must-have" for anyone who has even the most remote interest in photojournalism. Every time you turn the page of this book, you will enter a new era and meet a new person or feel a new experience...and surely you will envy the talent and experience of the photographers who bring it all to print.

If you are into photojournalistic photography, then you have undoubtedly heard of Magnum. This book is for you if you care about Magnum and are interested in seeing the work of prominent Magnum photographers and reading a bit about the history of Magnum and photography in general.

The book is quite big and heavy. This makes it great to display on a coffee table and to view the powerful photographs, but not so easy to read the 3 essays. Also, the book only covers up to the mid to late 80's. It should be updated to include the Magnum photographers of the 90s. That said, it's is still packed with important and inspiring work.

This book is a great collection of some hands-down stunning photography. The copy may as well not be there as it almost detracts from the impact of the art the book is presenting. While it feels a bit outdated with 1988 as the latest examples shown, In Our Time, is still a neat book to look at.
