World Press Photo 2017 Paperback – 11 May 2017

great product, MSI Photography Studio Hull

Although the quality of the pictures is as good as ever, and it's great that there are more pages that give us an educational snapshot of this fickle world, yet, I can never understand why photograph books, not just this one, insist on having double-page spreads.One picture across two pages. Why?It seems such an amateurish printing decision, certainly from professionals such as these.How hard can it be to have one picture per page? and also the text-size has shrunk, meaning there should be a free magnifying glass with each copy.Still, we get what we're given, and this is still a very good publication.

Same gripe as the previous reviewer, but I couldn't live with it and returned the book. Many of the pictures are printed over two pages so you've got a fold and join that ruins the picture - I've attached a 'real' example of one of the photos used in the advert and you can see how badly it affects it. I guess you could maybe break the spine of the book to try and make it flatter, but I don't think it would last long!

WPF please get your act together. Return to the original format, this current one is rubbish.
