not a copiest September 14, 2007
Great artists are inspired by others and yes, one can see other photographer's work in Annie's. I consider her one of the greats, right up there with Irving Penn, Avedon, Mapplethorpe and found the text very interesting. This book is a bargain considering the depth of information and production quality.
The size of this book! September 10, 2007

I was surprised at the size of this book! It is much thicker and larger than what I thought and I think it is good value for money. It provides the reader with an insight into the photographer's life and gives the book a very intimate feel. Not all the pictures are flattering to Ms Leibovitz and her relatives and seeing these ordinary photos of people not looking at their best makes you feel as if you are looking at people that you also know. An interesting mix of photos of celebrities and everyday people is presented.
One point of critisizm - why do they print a good photo over two pages and then cut it in half by the page break? A good picture deserves to be printed on one page so as to see it as a whole.
 A Celebration of Ugly and I Don't Care August 31, 2007

This book is perfect for today's society and culture.
Page after page I couldn't help thinking that Ms. Liebowitz was getting back at everyone because God made her so unattractive. It seems it runs in the family -- the photo of her sisters would frighten a scarecrow. Her parents look like fools, the photos of Sontag are disrespectful, and even Brad Pitt is at his worst. Ugly, ugly, ugly...
Yes the world is cruel and not everyone nor everything can be beautiful... it is merely that this book is blatantly defensive.
 Well ... is exactly like the title says ... August 26, 2007

... no more no less.
Do not expect to see more than an "allowed invasion" on her life in B&W.
Self promotion, just it. But who didn't, right?
If you can take some lessons "through her personal eyes", good for you.
I believe from everything you can take something good.
The Title is the Book August 9, 2007

In previous reviews on this book, I was put off. I think they were written by people who had wanted to purchase a book with slick commercial images and information as to how to recreate them.
But the title of this book is exactly what it is and the whole production of it is excellent.
It is a definite window into the life of Annie Leibovitz, colored with beautiful and real photographs of her surroundings and people in her life, as well as including some of her well known commercial images.
An inspiring read and a quality hardback book. All in all, a very worthwhile purchase.
