Of the half-dozen or so photography-related books I've read in the last few months, this one is the worst. I'm very interested in learning to create better photographic compositions, and I've gleaned some useful hints from the other books I've read, as well as by studying good photographs. Here, however, in a book specifically devoted to composition, I found nothing new.

Not only that, the photographs in this volume are mostly not very good, at least to my eye. Many of them look extremely dated — like bad 1970s advertising photos — and the print quality is abysmal.
