Elegant black-and-white images of everyday moments, ordinary situations which are seemingly familiar, yet distant. These are the images of Robert Doisneau as he takes us on a photographic journey spanning over sixty years of his photographic vision. Always direct, his images draw the viewer in to spend time visiting the facial expressions, shadows and light, textures and details captured by his gentle way of seeing.

With stories like "Ferryman" (Eric Brown), "The White Stuff" (Peter F. Hamilton & Graham Joyce), and "A Night on Bare Mountain" (Graham Charnock), anthologies don't get any better than this. My only quibble is with the experimental narrative "Thirteen Views of a Cardboard City"(William Gibson) which rounds out the volume with a whimper, not a bang. Otherwise, this is Hugo & Nebula territory.
