Summary: nothing special
Review: I really didn`t think the photographs in this book were all that good. Some fine but oh so many poor. Many seem taken through a dirty glass so are blurred. Certainly a lot of photographs but it would have been better to have narrowed down by over half

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: it's all here
Review: If you don't own a David Hamilton book, you must at least buy this one. Not that you shouldn't have others, you should. But this is the finest collection I have seen. His dreamy style is unmistakable, whether it be his landscapes or portraits of young girls. Another must have in my opinion.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best photo-art book ever. Period.
Review: Okay, so this book contains pictures of girls under 18 in the nude. Try to look at the bigger picture. That would be all that is beautiful in our world, and David hamilton has tried to fit as much as he can in one place. Many before him have tried, none have succeeded as he has. the pictures of countrysides, seascapes and Italian villas all join together with the aforemetioned images to create a perfect symmetry of beauty. This book is well worth its price, and then some.

Summary: ... unite!
Review: So how do you get over the stigma of being a pedophile? Take innocent very youg girls-Take their clothes off,and put them in erotic unnatural positions. It's ubsurd and awfull to take such natural and pretty things and take it away for your sexual plundering. 1 example... "forbiden fruit" (a close up off a prepubecent girls vagina) Is this art? NO! Don't be a fool,don't support such perversions.

Summary: Interesting Collection of his Work
Review: The book has photos spanning David Hamilton's career as well as a bit of an auto-biographical essay of his life and how he got into photographing beautiful young models.

The pictures include nude models as well as subjects like flowers, landscapes, and personal photos.

My complaints about the book is that the pictures are usually too small to be appreciated and the quality of the post-production is not top class. Though there are many nice photos, it does not justify the work of the photographer.

Nonetheless Hamilton's books are hard to find and always go out of print. Overall, it is worth buying.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A master of what he does.
Review: The book is much like the David Hamilton I met in the mid-seventies at a photo gallery in London. Quiet, observant. I have collected original prints of his works (now fading)since the 70's, together with all his books. This one could have ben entitled "The Best of...". He is an original who often puts himself on the line for his vision, and as a result he is a true icon in the world's population of photographers. While he has attempted filmmaking he is far more successful as a still photographer. Hopefully before his demise he will produce images more aggressive with passion. He could do that too very well.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great work of Art
Review: The first time I saw something from David Hamilton I was 14 years old. Since then there was always a feeling inside of me, which wants to capture the moment between innocence and adulthood. I still remember that moment, where I wasn't sure if I am a kid anymore or an adult. David Hamilton captures that moments brilliant. He takes pictures of dreams -- Dreams that are reality. Every picture he takes he takes with his heart. He knows how to capture the moments of real life.

Summary: The ONE girl book to OWN!
Review: There are a lot of books that contain nude artfull pictures of girls by several top photographers available to choose from. But if you had to choose only ONE to own, this would definitely be the book to buy!Because:(1) VALUE: This book has TRIPLE the pages and photographs of the other books for only about 10-15 dollars more. So thus you get a tremendous page-per-dollar value!(2) QUALITY: Many of the pictures are in color. Most of the other books only have black and white pictures. The pictures are very sharp and very high in quality..they leap off the page! (3) COMMENTARY: Aside from the great pictures, this book also contains several pages of a very informational introduction and commentary. It is nice to read some narration to put the subject matter and pictures in proper perspective.(4) BEAUTIFULL: The girls are very cute and beautifull. A wide age range is represented from 8-18. Even the pictures of the girls clothed are stunning, sexy, and beautifull. The nude girls are very tastefully presented as to not offend or risk censorship. This book used to be banned in some countries, and I think it still is banned in some areas of the world. I have seen this book priced in the hundreds of dollars when it first went out of print years ago.What more can i possibly say about this book? You get the most bang for the buck...you get top quality color and black and white pictures of very fine cute sexy beautifull girls 8-18 posing nude and semi-nude....and most important of all BUY THIS BOOK BEFORE IT GOES OUT OF PRINT! I have noticed that several books by Jock Sturges and David Hamilton are no longer either offered in Hard Cover edition or NOT AT ALL! Censorship control is placing pressure on book suppliers I guess, so quickly BUY THIS BOOK!

Summary: Interesting Collection of his Work
Review: This book is a masterpiece! Everything about it is just plain beautiful. I can't believe that Hamilton ever had problems with these incredible pictures that he has taken. And that takes us back to what is art? and what is pornography? It seems that in this country, people tend to believe that if a girl is under the age of 18 and nude, it is pornography. Hamilton has proved them wrong. If it is legal for familys, which do in a lot of cases include young girls and teenage girls, to go to nudist colonies or be naturists, where they are nude three fourths of the time, why is it not right for someone to capture this beautiful lifestyle on film?

The female body, at any age is a very beautiful thing, and not many people will let themselves admit this. I find it especially beautiful when the girls are at the brink of womanhood, and there bodies are changing. Why is it so hard to find this stunning for people???

You will find portraits of everything in this book, from swimming, to sleeping, to just plain stand up posing for the camera. Also, this book includes other works of Hamilton. Works like nature etc.

In one word, this book is Beautiful, and so is Hamilton, for doing something that very few people can do. That is to realize that there is natural beauty in everyone, and he photographed it.
