Great initiation book for fans!
I really enjoyed Stephen's work, this book is HUGE and has lots of his works, I recommend it for people who don’t have any of his books and are getting started with his work.Print quality it’s good and it has some interesting texts and interviews with the man itself.The reason I’m giving this book 4 stars is because I don’t really enjoyed the over sized format of the book, I understand the decision behind the size may be for a better detail look at the pictures, but it doesn’t really add in my opinion.Book came nice and in perfect condition.

An excellent look at Shore's works through 2013
This is the first in-depth survey of Shore's work of which I am aware. A previous survey from Phaidon was abbreviated but worth purchasing. This particular book is superior because it covers all of Shore's work through 2013. His "Uncommon Places" and "American Surfaces", his best known works, are well represented but you also get a taste of his earlier work with a few pictures from Warhol's Factory in NYC, toy camera photos, the Amarillo "Tall In Texas" postcards as well as more recent works from Israel, Scotland and the one-day's shooting portfolio from Winslow, Arizona done in 2013. What you get is an excellent overview of one of the late 20th Century's most influential artist/photographers.I have not read all the accompanying text but the selection of photos is worth the cover price of this book. I highly recommend this book as an introduction to Shore's work as well as a valuable reference for those familiar with this influential artist's excellent work.

If you want an up to date book on Stephen Shore this is the one to get. Based on an exhibition of his work that's touring Europe from September 2014 until September 2016.The book is landscape with 275 one to a page photos in the portfolio section, though the Print-on demand (2003-10) chapter has dozens of thumbnail size photos from the 2002 Apple iphoto concept. The first fifty-five pages have two illustrated essays, one of these is an excellent Q and A between Shore and David Campany, particularly interesting because it reveals a lot about Shore's approach to photography, influences and nicely some technical detail concerning his cameras and color.The portfolio pages are cross-section of work from 1964 to 2013. Those familiar with Shore will recognise many photos from 'American surfaces', 'A road trip journal' and 'Uncommon places', all pre-1990. Other chapters look at archaeology (1994) New York (2002.2) Ukraine (2012-13) and Winslow, Arizona (2013).I've looked through the book several times and still enjoy seeing the same photos, especially the Americana series from the seventies and early eighties. Despite so many of these just being shots of commonplace they hold a visual interest time after time.

A brilliant overview of both SS's work and the accompanying text ...
A brilliant overview of both SS's work and the accompanying text is just as interesting and insightful.An important body of work in one well published book, the text should not be overlooked.
