The Polaroid Book (Taschen's 25th Anniversary Special Editions)

Great Book. If you love Polaroid cameras and photos as I do then this is a "Must Have." Digital photography is wonderful but buying my first Polaroid "Swinger" was a life changing event. The joy and anticipation of an instant photograph defined my "I want it now" generation. This books shows the work of many photographers who understood the value of the moment and appreciated the unique character of Polaroid film. That character comes thru on every page. It also includes a short essay on Edwin Land's meeting with Ansel Adams and a timeline of Polaroid cameras (except for the Polavision movie camera). Thanks Taschen for this and all the wonderful books you do and thanks Edwin Land.

Great book to keep on the coffee table. I love it, all it promised and more. Perfect addiction to my collection.

If you love polaroids, I think you'll enjoy this book. It's fun, a good size, and it also gave me great new ideas for polaroid projects.

I just received my copy of the Taschen 25th Anniversary Edition Polaroid Book and I do love it but I was surprised at the level of nudity throughout it. At one point you can't go two pages without some woman being completely nude. and I get that it's "for the sake of art" but why are there no nude men in the book if that is the case? It just seems a little bit biased to the female form and a little too exposing. What happened to the powers of subtlety and suggestion, something I would be more in favor of in the long run? So buyers beware: if you're looking for a little peepshow along with some great art then this is your book, but if you've got kids in the house, then think twice about having this lying around.

The product arrived quickly and according to the specifications and is well packaged. I am happy to deal with you..A+++++

lots of nudity in this book but a very cool book and very cool photos inside it

It's a neat flip through, but nothing too special. I will look through it a few times before it hits the shelves and collects dust, but I'm sure if Polaroid ever gets brought up in a conversation, I'll probably bring it out and say "Take a look at this neat book." Other than that, I wasn't terribly impressed as the theme just seems to be haphazard polaroids. There is nothing wrong with that I suppose, but it left me desiring better.

Love the book cover and its content itself is outstanding.

Wenn man Polaroid Fotografie mag, sollte man sich dieses Buch auf jeden Fall kaufen! Für "Kunstbuch" hat viele Seiten und ist vor allem günstig. Im Vergleich zu richtigen Kunstbüchern, deren Preis oftmals erst bei 50€ anfängt. Auch wenn es sich um ein etwas größeres Taschenbuch handelt! Die Seiten sind kunstvoll minimalistisch mit viel Weissraum gestaltet. Die Bilder sind gut gewählt und abwechslungsreich. Mal nur ein einzelnes Bild, mal eine Collage! Für den Preis und die Anzahl der Seiten auf jeden Fall ein klare Kaufempfehlung!

Excelente!! Llego con excelente cuidado en el empaque, sin problemas y en el tiempo acordado. El libro esta excelente!! muy buena calidad. La relación de precio y calidad supero mis expectativas. Lo recomiendo ampliamente

Correspondeu completamente às minhas expectativas!

Très bon livre pour découvrir le monde de la photographie en polaroid, je recommande

Poladoid es un mito en la historia de la fotografía y en este libro se recogen instantáneas hechas por una gran cantidad de fotógrafos importantes que, en algún momento, utilizaron estas cámaras. El libro merece la pena. Es una buena encuadernación, en tapa dura, con fotos muy bien impresas. Además, una foto por página, con lo que su visión es cómoda. Tiene una pequeña introducción en 3 idiomas, entre los cuales NO está el español, pero no importa. El libro es, sin duda, muy recomendable.
