Classic Portrait Photography: Techniques and Images from a Master Photographer (Masters Series (Buffalo, N.Y.))

I love Bill's work and this book is nicely done with many examples of his work inside. The reason it only deserves 4 stars is that an earlier book, printed in hard cover and, last I checked, out of print, was much nicer. The earlier book had better examples of his work, including a portrait of Colin Powell and a fabulous shot of a news anchor in a newsroom. The older book contained spectacular shots that really outshine many of those found in this edition. This book is still worth the price though and Bill McIntoshs' work is still first rate.
