1999-12-23 a first class book to keep and look at in the future

This is a book which has a place in every household. It covers the whole spectrum of the twentieth century. Not a smug book of pictures by professional photographers with 'set up' shots, but pictures taken by ordinary people of ordinary people. It screams out for everyone to keep their 'snaps' of family life and events and most particularly to caption them for future generations to look at and understand the time which the pictures show. Photography became possible for the masses in this century and this book demonstrates its use most clearly. It is a book to keep. Buy it.
