Reviews
"Kanfer's atmospheric photographs evoke the quiet drama of Midwest prairies, the immensity of skies and cornfields, the poetry of changing seasons, moods, twilights, textures. . . . Poignantly, unexpectedly beautiful." -- Publishers Weekly "This coffee-table book . . . preserves the fundamental beauty of the Heartland in 114 color landscapes. . . . These images range from fields furrowed in geometric precision to the dark silhouette of farm buildings against a brilliant crimson sunset. . . . Should make transplanted Midwesterners ache with homesickness." --Midwest Living"The photographic artistry that is the hallmark of Larry Kanfer translates into images that are sometimes moody or fragile, other times stark or awash with color. . . . His eye for the beauty of the Illinois prairie [has] captured the imagination of thousands." -- Illinois Quarterly "Kanfer's gift is that he can endow the ordinary landscape . . . with an almost magical sense of beauty." -- Judith Loy, Associated Press "Kanfer has conjured up images that are uniquely and distinctly American. . . . He manages the not-inconsiderable feat of making one long for the Middle West." -- Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post Book World "Deeply and lusciously beautiful. . . . The colors are so rich, the compositions so striking, the effect so lovely. . . . More than 100 photographs [are] . . . reproduced with startling quality and depth of color." --Virginia Quarterly Review"The images were photographed for their beauty: the patterns formed by nature or by row crop plantings, the way early morning light or twilight glow plays off trees, buildings, or landforms. . . . A joy to contemplate." --The Annals of Iowa, "Kanfer's atmospheric photographs evoke the quiet drama of Midwest prairies, the immensity of skies and cornfields, the poetry of changing seasons, moods, twilights, textures. . . .

    Unfortunately I received a damaged book, the item and the package both were damaged and it was clearly evident its appearance that it happened during transit. The seller was very understanding and gave me a full refund for the damaged book, though it was no fault of their own. Other than the damage, the book was as described, the quality and condition aside from the damaged spot was like new. The cost of the book was reasonable. I would definitely purchase from the seller again.

    Arrived on time. Packaging was lacking, product damaged in two places during shipping due to inadequate padding within the packaging. I can live with it seeing as I don't want to hunt down and pay for another copy... Item was as described minus the damage to the spine of the book in one place from the thin plastic wrapping not providing any rigidity or padding. This is the first time I have encountered this problem with this Fantastic seller. Excellent value. Thank you
