It is the recognition of ourselves in the amazing photo's that Bloom made of these relatives of us. It's the one photobook that I take at hand regularly and that chears me up when needed, while I just look at myself at every page. I already gave away over twenty copies of it to people that are worth it. That kind of book it is.

Beautiful, striking, and at times even sad and funny, this book details these amazing animals in wonderfully sharp and colourful professional photography. No review can honestly do it justice... you just have to see it for yourself.

This is a book filled with stunning primate photos, particularly of the mountain and low land gorillas. I purchased it after reading a review, and it was well worth buying. One of the best photographic books on primates I have ever seen - excellent value and excellent photos
