Rating:  Summary: OUT OF THIS WORLD! Review: The photographs in Mark Seliger's newly published collection are exquisite. He understands, more than anyone, how to capture the essence of the particular celebrities he celebrates. And the picture of BRAD PITT in a dress, sauntering casually beside a showcase car is OUT OF THIS WORLD! The book is a marvel --- from cover to cover! A++++++++++++++
Rating:  Summary: Gorgeous photographs. Review: This book is goregeous to look at: the photographs are amazing (and printed HUGE so you can get a good look at the detail), and Seliger's ideas are phenomenal -- who would've thought to dress the cast of Seinfeld up as the characters from Wizard of Oz? Genius!Whenever I have friends over to my home, people inevitably end up flipping through this book and being fascinated by the photography inside. Every time I look at it, I notice something new, or another photograph catches my eye, no matter how many times I've seen it before. This is a book you will look through many times, and whether you're a fan of the musicians and actors (and other famous folks) that Seliger photographed or you're a shutterbug yourself, you'll find something to take away from these amazing pieces of art. My only complaint is that the book is a little odd-sized and probably won't fit on a standard size bookshelf (luckily, Amazon gives you the dimensions here, so that's a help).

Rating:  Summary: what an incredible book of photographs Review: this book is incredible. if you are a subscriber to rolling stone magazine, and have ever noticed a photograph that is simply amazing, it is probably the work of mark seliger. if you buy this book, you will be able to see hundreds of pages of these intriguing photographs, some involving vivid use of color, and others utilizing the intimacy of black and white photography. when you first get this book, you will set it down, read it from cover to cover, be solidly amazed, and then promptly read it again from cover to cover. i know nothing about photography, but you don't need to in order to appreciate seliger's appealing, beautiful pictures. i would suggest that anyone buy this book.
Rating:  Summary: Absolutely Wonderful! Review: This is the only book I know of that will give me goose bumps every single time I look thru it.

You just CAN NOT go wrong with this book.

Rating:  Summary: This is the book you buy! Review: You may be like me and wondering which of the Seliger books to buy? He has this one, a couple of US MAGAZINE books with Drew Barrymore on the covers, but let me tell you now - THIS IS THE BOOK YOU BUY! It has the US MAGAZINE pictures and more. It''s huge in dimensions and page count! The quality is great, but if you know who Mark Seliger is then you know that already. The paper is mid-weight and the colour reproduction is excellent. My only gripe is that after a year I've torn the dust cover because the book is so huge it's easy for the cover to slip off a bit and get caught on something. So if you want the cover in good condition forever maybe you should take it off when looking at the book. Want a look at some of the photos in the book? Go to www.markseliger.com
