Giant Suspension Bridge This is a VERY nice book! It has mostly color photos in it, along with different things people have said about the bridge. The book simply didn't have all the facts about the bridge that I thought it would, but that's okay--it is still a good book. I can sure understand why others like this book--the photos are very nice to look at. One of the Wonders of. Gorgeous Book, Beautiful Photos John Jerney This is truly a gorgeous book. In addition to the outstanding photography -- not surprising coming from a photographer of Morton Beebe's caliber -- the book is fantastic to hold and enjoy with well-styled pages and bright, vibrant images that capture not only the beauty and grandeur of one of the world's greatest bridges, but also its amazing setting.In . Nita Singleton said Very nice pictures though. This book was a little smaller than I expected for a coffee table book but I should have looked at the dimensions so that was definitely my fault. Very nice pictures though. My Amish friend loved it and that's the only thing that was important. He loves learning everything he can about he Golden Gate Bridge. It was definitely a good value.
