Two Guys Four Corners: : Great Photographs, Great Times, and a Million Laughs

Rating:
Summary: Great photos, inane captions. Other books are better.
Review: It's hard to look at these beautiful photographs and not read the captions, since the captions take up a whole page opposite the photo. I like both Don and Fred, think they're amusing fellows. I can't imagine why they didn't make the captions more entertaining or enlightening, instead of sophomoric or irrelevant. Who cares that Don went back to the truck for a pack of cigarettes while Fred took a photo? Does this enhance your enjoyment one iota? Bless the Wee One, this is a major disappointment. Almost but not quite worth it for the pictures, you won't want to leave this lying around on the coffee table when your in-laws or children are around. (Or anyone with an ounce of intelligence.) All the shilling in the world won't make this a memorable experience. Pick up another photographer's book and enjoy it more

Summary: Beautiful pictures, infantile text.
Review: Let me start out by saying I am an Imus fan and have been listening to his program since the 70's. That being said this book was a mild disappointment. The beautiful pictures of the American Southwest are definitely worth the price of admission. But the comments often get in the way. How many times does the phrase "fat tourists" need to be said in order to make a point?(At least three in this book along with other derogatory mentions.)The text seems to be an afterthought and probably could have been omitted all together. But the picture on page 12 alone makes the rest of it worthwhile.

Summary: Not ONLY for Imus In The Morning Fans
Review: Listeners of Don Imus already "know" about his photographic acumen, because he constantly brags about it. This lovely book is proof of his abilities. Those of us who can't visit the desert Southwest often will feel more than fulfilled by the variety of breathtaking photos that Don and Fred have compiled. I bought this book for my husband's Father's Day, and gave it early, because I didn't want to wait for his reaction (he loves it). My third grade daughter took it to school for show and tell because they had just studied the Mesa Verde, and she had never seen pictures so vivid. We warned her and her teacher SEVERAL times to cover the text. (The kids were blown away by the photographs, while being protected from the F-word.) Fred's rainbow and Don's slot canyons are so compelling they are hypnotic. I do not buy coffee table books, and Two Guys is not one of those. This collection transcends all "genres."

Summary: "Two Guys..." Captures Southwestern Beauty and Imus Humor
Review: Okay, so I bought it because I heard about it on the radio show and was sort of stumped for some birthday gifts. However, WOW! Fantastic photography makes me want to go back and visit an area I just left two months ago. Fans of photography, the southwest, natural beauty and "The I-Man" all have good reason to buy this book. You won't get tired of picking it up and looking at it over and over again (although the pictures obviously have better legs than the captions)

Rating:
Summary: Tremendous photography and irreverently hillarious.
Review: This book has a permanent place in our home and is a source of continuous enjoyment!
