JSBJ - Taxis pleins, Taxis vides...pt2

I dont think in the history of this blog I have deliberately blogged something twice...but in this rare exception, it is something i needed to do.
A week or so ago i got an email from Je Suis Une Bande De Jeunes in regards to their new book...and so I blogged the pictures they sent me...so far so good...but then i finally got my hands on a copy and i just had to write about it again...I felt i had criminally undersold such a great great book.
You see, to see just JPEGs from an email doesnt do this book justice (and im sorry thats all i can offer here!), it doesnt reflect the quality, detail, depth or vividness of the printing...the JPEG of Jeff Rians spot on introduction doesnt have the same impact in JPEG format as it does when you have this giant, thick and wonderful book in your hands, waiting to be enjoyed ...so you see I had to rectify my previous post, and really try and impress how awesome this book is to you all.
Looking at the constant opposites of nature vs urban, this is how photography books should be - thoughtful text, spot on layout and design, great production values and most importantly fantastic images. Thick with pages and ideas i cant recommend this highly enough.
