Customer Reviews

A well-culled and entertaining collection.

A very entertaining collection of photos that would be a perfect off-beat gift for anyone who enjoys found art - especially of real people by real people. The lay-out is clean, not cluttered and allows the well chosen snapshots speak for themselves. Plus half the fun is bringing your own story to each of these images. For anyone who appreciates found art, this one tells a great tale with a very satisfying ending.

Bottom end, tops

The rear end of human anatomy always fascinates us, particularly in these found photos. The fact that they come from non commercial photographers provides more than mere sociological appeal. They charm us and remind us of former times and places, and the innocent sensibilities that surrounded them. Those who like this book will find a companion book, "Couples," equally appealing.
