I bought that book a week ago.  It's one of my all-time favourites for showing the effective use of colour in documentary photography.  I also really get a sense of how comfortable he is in what, to me, would be utterly alien cultures.  I like the format of the book too - it is printed "on its side" - mostly natural 35mm landscape format images printed "up and down" to fill the page, rather than double-trucked.  This was money well spent.
