This special and important photography book presents, for the first time, the very best contact sheets created by Magnum photographers. Contact sheets tell the truth behind a photograph. They unveil its process, and provide its back story. Was it the outcome of what a photographer had in mind from the outset? Did it emerge from a diligently worked sequence, or was the right shot down to pure serendipity a matter of being in the right place at the right time? This landmark publication provides the reader with a depth of understanding and a critical analysis of the story behind a photograph, the process of editing it, and the places and ways in which the selected photographs were used. For anyone with a deep appreciation of photography and a desire to understand what goes into creating iconic work, "Magnum Contact Sheets" will be regarded as the definitive volume. It is presented with 435 illustrations in total, 230 in colour, including over 3,600 frames on 139 contact sheets.

This book is a fantastic opportunity to see the "final" picture and the whole contact from which the pictures were chosen plus the background story. It is seldom that one gets such insight. It also shows how many pictures even great photographers have to take to get just the right one. A MUST book in any
professional photographer's library. At Euro 145 a super deal.

Amazing book!

I purchased this book in Feb. 2012 and have read the negative reviews regarding the condition that the book was shipping in from Amazon and also about the bad binding from the publisher. The book came in pretty good packaging but one corner of the book was slightly bent but the damage is so minimal that it does not affect the book nor the pages. As far as the binding; the book is very heavy so I would recommend viewing it on a flat surface and not on a bed,etc. I recorded a video of me opening the package just in case the book came all messed up but it didnt. The content of the book is amazing and a treat for photography nerds like myself.

Great book, amazing content. POOR BINDING!

What an amazing book. It is an amazing source for any and all amateur photographer, photojournalist, or anyone wishing to know about the stories behind an image. I also own Magnum stories which is great, and I would highly recommend.
Unfortunately, there is a huge problem with this book. I've ordered it twice here on Amazon, and the other bookseller only to have to send it back. I don't know if it's the sheer weight of the book, improper packaging, or poor manufacturing, but both books had a detached spine. I actually considered going to my local paper source or bookbinder to have it fixed, but I shouldn't have to pay more money just to fix an obvious issue.
I would say order the book, but inspect it as you get it. Hopefully it was just a few bad batches, and you will be spared the disappointment of having to return it.

A flawed masterpiece

Magnum Contact Sheets is truly a masterpiece in terms of content.
The reproductions of the photographs in this book are of outstanding quality. This is an iconic book that will be highly sought after in the future. I would expect prices to skyrocket once it is out of print.
In my opinion, this is a book that every serious photographer, student of photography and connoisseur of fine photography books should own.
And now for the bad news: Due to a combination of marginal binding strength by Thames & Hudson and improper packing for shipment by Amazon, I had to return the book repeatedly to get an undamaged and/or non-defective copy. When copy #4 arrived, I at long last had an acceptable copy of this outstanding book. There are two threads on this book and the trials and tribulations associated with it at L-Camera-Forum (Google it).
I would rate the book at five stars (or an "A") for content and quality of photographic reproduction. However, in terms of the binding I would have to rate it at two stars (or a "D").
It is truly unfortunate that the marginal binding has flawed an iconic book that is in all other ways a masterpiece.
