Doors

Love this book. The pictures are wonderful. Full, half and quarter page pictures. Lots of variety, and nice sharp pictures. (Bought it new and the cover separated from the book immediately. What kind of glue are publishers using these days?)

Beautiful coffee table book

Schöner Bildband mit zahlreichen sehr guten Fotos. Die erläuternden Texte sind allerdings ein wenig knapp und um sie lesen zu können, muss man jeweils bis ans Ende des Buches blättern. Die Bindung meines Exemplars löste sich leider beim Durchblättern.

This is a book chock-full of excellent photographs of doorways, a large number of which contain no doors. If one is expecting to see doors only, one might be disappointed. Even at that, it is not altogether doorways, but aperatures of various sorts related to entry into structures of varying types.The scope of the book is international and spans from the remote past to the present. The doorways are not organized in any particular geographic order, but there is a general chronological order.There are no captions, but a list of photographic credits at the end of the book does provide basic information. It is a nuisance to constantly flip between the index and the photographs, but it is doubtful that Mr. Wilcox expected that to happen; rather, it seems that he intended the photographs to be enjoyed for their own value.
