A recent post by Lenny Eiger got me to looking into the work of Evans. He recommends an Aperture monograph, but when looking it up on Amazon I also came across this:

Has anyone seen this? If so, how is the quality?

It's hard to beat the price of a used Aperture monograph, though!

I have a copy. Mine is very nice--but I don't have the Aperture book to compare it to. I thought the blog onlinephotographer had reviewed it but I didn't find it on a casual search.

For the record -- :) -- I'm extremely fond of the following. I've have spent hours going through it ... just marvelous:

Binney, Marcus, The Chateaux of France: from the archives of Country Life, 1897-1939 / Marcus Binney; photographs by Frederick H. Evans (London: Mitchell Beazley,1994)

I have both the 2010 book and the 1973 Aperture. I would suggest that they should not be an either or decision, but considered as one adding to the other. As photographic books go, these are very inexpensive. They are very different. The difference in technology between 1973 and 2010 gives much more beautiful printing of the photography. You need to consider the gains of an additional 37 years of historical research. There are many more pictures in the 2010 book than the Aperture. The Aperture was written by Beaumont Newhall, master of photographic criticism at the time. The 2010 was preparation for a huge traveling exhibit prepared by the Getty. It was a package deal for me, and a long awaited one at that.
