Magnum Photos is one of four new titles being published this Spring in Thames & Hudson's acclaimed `Photofile' series. Each book brings together the best work of the world's greatest photographers (or in this case, its greatest photographic agency) in an attractive format and at an easily affordable price. Hailed by The Times as `finely produced', the books are printed to the highest standards. Each one contains some sixty full-page reproductions printed in superb duotone, together with a critical introduction and a full bibliography.
