Product Description
There are photographs, and then there are Polaroids. This hardbound beauty is stuffed with 100+ specimens and curiosities from the Polaroid age, when gratification was as instant as the digital camera but far easier to lose. It's filled with an incredible collection of photos - some of them very funny, others strangely moving and affecting.

 Art book or not... September 29, 2008
you'd be better off looking at Flickr. A good number of these photos are not interesting at all, granted there are a few you'll stare at and wonder about, but the vast majority of these feel like they should have remained lost.
 Great coffetable book for those who appreciate the beauty of a Polaroid November 25, 2007

True, this book is simplistic in its photo descriptions, but the photos really do the talking. Don't expect to get a voyeuristic glimpse into the lives of complete strangers; the photos are more subtle than that. From descriptions that I have read, I get the feeling that this is more of an "art book" than the other Found books. There is an indescribable charm surrounding this photography medium: Polaroids have a certain mystery and even poignancy about them, and this book does a nice job of showcasing that. This isn't the type of book that I'd go out and buy for myself, but it's nice to give/receive as a gift.
Very disappointed September 21, 2007

I feel really ripped off. I thought this book would be more like the other "Found" titles. Instead, it has one picture every other page - with only the briefest captions. Too little for way too much!
