[QUOTE="bobberboy, post: 158330, member: 1417"] I can't actually remember and having moved 18 months ago still can't find it. Anyway, sometimes book reproduction just doesn't compare to what you see on the internet. Maybe it's something about the fact that the image is literally glowing on the computer screen. I think they're good and the book is worth buying. I think I got mine copy from Amazon. I got the book because we were doing an exhibition of WPA paintings, prints and photographs a couple of years ago from our collection at the U of M and I got to see and handle many original black and white photographs from this period. As was said above, there were few color photo's taken during this time and until I saw this book I had never seen any. I have read a lot about the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl years and this collection of photo's really added a lot to understanding that subject for me. I guess I should add that I was dragged kicking and screaming into the digital age. I know all the reasons why digital is good, but I am old school. To me there is nothing like the continuous tone image from a film negative or the magic watching the print come to life in the developer. If you have ever made a contact print from a large format camera it's hard to compare to digital. The photographers represented in this collection were the best of the best in that old school sense.
