In my opinion the quality is good, but it not arrives to the excellence, as
I expect and I have for my other Photography books. B&W is not a strong B&W,
and i.e. I've see in better quality in other books the Ted's picture of the
Barcelona Oimpic games.
Even so I'm very happy with the Book and the Jim's work.
Saludos desde Barcelona
Luis

This morning Tom Abrahamsson and I were discussing an aspect of this over
coffee.
Both our books were naturally printed at the same facility in Seattle, WA.
We assume that the printing facilities are given a specification by
blurb.com regarding printing type, paper, binding, inks, tolerances etc.
It would be extremely interesting to see books printed by different
companies, and how much variation there is in the perceived quality.
We're delighted with ours, and I haven't seen any colour cast on the B&W
prints. In fact, the quality of the colour and B&W images are all pretty
much equally good, which is quite an achievement, and is often not the case.
