I may be biased, having grown up in Vancouver in the 50's and 60's when Herzog was shooting the city, but I think this is a stunning book of pictures from the period. Herzog opens his shutter for the perfect millisecond of a declined handshake, the majesty of a passenger ship leaving port, a woman exiting a variety store, etc.. If you are from Vancouver, and especially if you knew Vancouver as a seaport vs. a tourist destination, it is even better.

If you’re into photography, you’ll love this book. Loaded with interesting photos of everyday life. It kind of reminded me of Jay Maisels books. Everyday life looked at through the eyes of an artist.

Great high quality publication fro Rizzoli

With Prime delivery the book arrived overnight in perfect condition. It’s put together well and at this price it was a great bargain compared to what other photography books of this quality cost. The photos were wonderful and they can easily stand along side any modern day digital photos. There was no photoshop or Lightroom in Herzog’s day and to see how well he cropped and composed these photos is something to recognize. This is on my coffee table along with other photography and art books and I’m sure I’ll go through the pages again and again. Really, I can’t speak high enough on how good this book is, the cost, the quality, the photos. It’s all been a treat!

Excellent book

Highly recommended to color enthusiasts!
