The story about the discovery of photography, the evolution and the photographers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I like Sandlers history. He tells a fluent story. He describes the evolution through talking about the persons making the discoveries and the photographers developing seeing. There are quotes and backgrounds. This sets his book apart from others I've read. It makes it a lively and interesting read and the history is easier to remember. Every page has excellent reproductions, even the index pages.
