Trade Review
"Brilliant." American Photo "An incredible work of art... A wonderful book to return to time and again to see what you might have missed the previous times or simply to appreciate the genius that went into it." National Parks Traveler "[Creates] an entirely new landscape, one in which a window into the past has been opened and time passing can be seen as only part of the story." Slate "[This] project is a large and time consuming undertaking, one that reveals something entirely new about the various vantage point of the canyon." Blend Image "A stunning volume." -- Marilyn Dahl Shelf Awareness "Like ace jigsaw puzzlers, Klett and Wolfe take on the challenge of the Grand Canyon's vastness and relatively homogeneous topography in this latest reconstruction." Photo-Eye "One of the best Grand Canyon photography books to come along in recent years." Arizona Daily Sun "Senf's obvious fondness for the artists and their work only adds to the readability and clarity of her essay... Recommended." -- L. M. Bliss, San Diego State University Choice "Vexing, dreamy, beautiful, and provocative." -- Jake Abrahamson Sierra Club "An arresting visual interpretation of a visual icon." Southwestern Historical Quarterly
