Critical Praise
"Moving, perceptive, delightful, and playful....Nowhere will you find a better discussion of photography."
- ArtNews
"A body of correspondence that reflected his ebullient personality, his commitment to artistic quality, and his love of life."
- The New Yorker
"His vast correspondence reveals him as an immensely energetic, funny, devotedly friendly, and passionately concerned man."
- Washington Post Book World
"This charming book is the most intimate portrait of the man to date."
- Chicago Tribune
"Adams was a splendid, rumbustious writer, overflowing with jokes, puns, expletives, and exuberance.... Never were letters less deliberately composed; he wrote when exhausted and distracted, on the spur of the second, in bits and fragments.... His letters to close friends are warm and wonderful; reading them, one frequently feels (as one doesn't often in reading printed letters) what a marvelous thing it would have been to have him for a friend."
