Many books have been made with 'the most iconic/best pictures ever taken', however, a book including the contact sheets of these 'best most iconic/best pictures ever taken' is something new. This books tells a broader story of all these pictures, as the photographers explain the proces of making these pictures and how they normally work. It shows how (often) many attempts were needed to make that 'one picture' and plays with the image we have of iconic politicians (often based on these iconic photo's), as they also show the rest of the contact sheet. Castro isn't so self confident when he is thinking, and the 'Iron Lady' isn't as confincing, a few minutes after her ivonic picture was taken.
I literally read the book one picture a day, before going to bed, and wish that it would have been even heavier!
