Book Reviews of Essential Retro: The Vintage Technology Guide
Book Review: Dissapointing Pics
Summary: 3 Stars
The text of this book lives up to high quality of the blog from which it originated but... the picture quality is poor. They're all grainy black and white. I expected, at least, crisp images, no matter how small, but instead these are all low resolution. It definitely detracts from the impact. Quite dissapointing.
