Havana

This book is beautiful and deserves 5 stars BUT it has 22 blank pages scattered throughout. I contacted both the distributor and the publisher and neither were able (or bothered) to explain whether it was a printing fault or some new design trend I'd missed. I don't intend to return the book as it is for my own interest in Havana but it is very disappointing that a large, expensive and fabulous book has all those blank pages.

We went to Cuba two years ago and spent 3 days and two nights in Havana. If you’ve been, you will love this book. If you haven’t yet been, you will love this book! This photographer caught all the emotions of Cuba. 👍🏻

This book quality is great!! It’s gorgeous and yes a few blank pages, but it doesn’t bother me. I love this book on my coffee table and it reminds me of our trip to Cuba!

I was very disappointed with this book. There are so many blank pages throughout the book and also many other pages are half blank. Not what I expected at all. I should have listened to the other review I read that actually said the same thing. Thought it might have been a printing error in just that book. I will be returning this book.

A+

I was hesitant to buy this book as there wasn't a single review about it since it just came out a few months ago. All hesitation was gone once I received it. An incredibly beautiful hardback photo book with photos of Havana showing people, historic & dilapidated buildings, and more. Rather than on each page, the captions of the photos are all in the back of the book along with the year the photographs were taken. Would have been easier if they were on each page but most of the photos in the book are full page photos so it would have been difficult to do so. Most photos were taken 2010-2016 so they are very recent. The book isn't a travel guide, it's a photography book. I found it useful as a travel resource so that I could see what places I want to see when I visit Havana.

as fotos do livro privilegiam muito uma havana mais decadente, antiga, desgastada e erodida pelo tempo, no limite entre o habitável e o arruinamento, um olhar que paira sobre o aspecto very shabby de móveis e objetos - por mais a cidade tenha esta característica como principal, são poucas as photos do livro que contemplam uma havana resgatada de seu passado, com brilho e opulência. se houver o desejo de se conhecer a cidade, creio não se deva ver estas photos - talvez a vontade passe, rs. há realmente páginas em branco, como descrito por outros compradores, o que deixa a edição um pouco 'estranha' e fica-se com a impressão de que faltam photos, porém deve ser somente impressão porque não há relato no índice de photos nas páginas em branco. No mais, um preço caro para um livro com photos - tirante uma ou outra - um pouco mais das mesmas de havana.

Wunderschönes Buch. War als Geschenk super angekommen. Ich habe es mir ebenfalls angeschaut und war außerdem bei einer Ausstellung, bei der Herr Hartmann zu dem einen oder anderen Bild die Hintergründe erzählte - es steckt eine Menge Arbeit und Liebe zum Detail dahinter.

Schöne Fotos, leider wird die Vielfalt Havannas nicht wiedergegeben.

product was as advertised and arrived sooner than expected

...ich weiß mit dieser Beurteilung sollte man nicht leichtfertig sein. Aber mittlerweile sind zig und zum Teil bessere Bücher auf dem Markt, die sich dem Thema ähnlich nähern. Viele Motive gabs schon in Robert Polidoris hervorragendem Band über Havana(meine Güte es gab jetzt aber auch schon viele ähnlich gestaltete Bücher), das noch immer unerreicht ist und eine Art grafische Pionierleistung war. Auch Michael Eastman und Werner Pawlok und einige mehr haben Bücher mit ganz ähnlichen Motiven und zum Teil in den selben Locations fotografiert veröffentlicht. Nicht schlecht aber für fünfzig Euro und als neuer Band müsste noch mehr eigene Perspektive und neues dabei sein um mich zu überzeugen.
