2.0 out of 5 stars TOO MUCH
While the content of the photographs is timeless and Kleins genius evident, I still found myself disapointed with this book. The problem is the layout. All the images are full bleeds covering every inch of paper. This means lots of cropping, no borders,absolutely no "breathing space" for any of the images, and of course the book's center seam running thru all...

While the content of the photographs is timeless and Kleins genius evident, I still found myself disapointed with this book. The problem is the layout. All the images are full bleeds covering every inch of paper. This means lots of cropping, no borders,absolutely no "breathing space" for any of the images, and of course the book's center seam running thru all the pictures. If the intent of this layout was to further emphasize the claustrophobic feeling of NYC then the publishers have succeeded . I found it tedious and I am sorry I purchased it.

This review is from: William Klein, New York, 1954-1955 (Hardcover)
I wish some innovative design could give a second chance to this book. These pictures look so common, now. The layout of the book is also so common that you feel you are reading a year book from Time-Life 1960. Yes, all this might have looked revolutionary in the 50's. To-day, you will buy this book because it will remind you of some place or some time that is important to you.
