Steve McCurry
L’ho acquistato per un regalo: il libro è bellissimo, rilegato molto bene e non pensavo fosse così grande e piuttosto pesante. Per una persona appassionata di fotografia è perfetto, da avere in libreria o su un tavolino in bella vista. Consegna di Amazon precisa e puntuale. Soddisfatta.
