The print quality of this book is outstanding, as are each of the amazing images. The photos span a period from about 1981 to 2019. If you know anything about photography and Steve McCurry, you’ll know that many of these images would’ve been shot on film; likely 35mm film.
What the negative reviewer has misidentified as poor print quality, is simply film grain. That’s especially evident when you enlarge a 35mm film image to the size of a coffee table book. That’s easy to forget when we’ve all been so accustomed to the pixel-perfect, over-processed digital images that clog up photo media today.
This is an outstanding book especially if you appreciate Steve McCurry and iconic travel photography.
My only complaint is that the book arrived with corner damage. Typical Amazon. Sad that a company that started with selling books no longer knows how to ship them.

The images in this book of photographs by Steve McCurry are amazing. Rich in their humanity and stunning in their technical mastery. That's to be expected from Steve McCurry. What's most amazing about these images is that they are 'outtakes' -- passed over and so unseen until now.

I really liked the large format and the beautiful pictures. I was a little frustrated at first that there were no explanations or captions, but there are all located toward the end of the book. Overall, it was a great purchase and I'm very happy with it. Great work by a wonderful photographer.

This is clearly a most beautiful photo book, by a well known photographer, from multiple, culturally very different places on the planet.

contains blank pages which I don't understand
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 17, 2020Verified Purchase
His photography is exceptional and the images second to none however the book contains entirely blank pages which to me look like a printing error. I contacted Mr McCurry's office who speculate that the blank pages act as chapter breaks . I'm sorry but I just don't see it . The blank pages just look odd . I have several of his other books none of which have the same . He is one of my favourite photographers and I certainly would encourage getting the book however I struggle to understand why so many blank pages

Extremely satisfied.
Reviewed in Canada on April 9, 2021Verified Purchase
Mr. McCurry does it again with a very strong collection of images. The binding, print quality and paper stock are what one would expect from a Steve McCurry book – excellent. There are some images that run across the gutter, but the book is large enough to be laid out quite flat, so the effect is minimal. Recommended for anyone who is interested in fine photography monographs.
