Book Review: Nice coffee table book
Summary: 4 Stars
Nice book for coffee table but the prints are hard to keep in until you are ready to frame them.
Summary of Life: The Classic Collection
The most famous, wonderful AND inspiring pictures ever to appear in the pages of LIFE are here. All the great action shots are here--from the sailor kissing the nurse to the first astronaut walking in space. The unsurpassed portraiture-- from screen icons like Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor to world leaders including John Fitzgerald Kennedy and Winston Churchill--are all here as well.LIFE has, of course, visited its archives before--but never like this. This edition puts the photographs on display, not only as part of the page layout but as the page itself. The explanatory text will be out of the way, so that each image can be savored. Moreover, prints will be included that are not just suitable for framing, but meant for framing. And not only will there be photographic prints; there will also be 75 other famous pictures that appeared in LIFE's pages, the story behind each of them and the narrative history of what LIFE's photography has long meant to the country and, indeed, to the world.
