The book itself has a beautiful crushed velvet binding. From the introduction by Chief Curator of Photography at MoMA Peter Galassi: "Photography likes sculpture. It likes to see how things look from different angles, especially things that don't move. It likes light falling on surfaces and the way the two become one in the picture... above all, it likes the way photography, which makes living figures still, awakens figures frozen in stone."
