The Gerald & Marc Hoberman Collection's Mighty Marvelous Little
Books Are Now Available in A Pre-Packed, 24-Count Countertop
Display!
Gerald and Marc Hoberman's "London" is the very quintessence of
this great city, an incisive manifestation of surprise and delight.
It is a celebration and an important record of England's capital at
the dawn of the new millennium. The well-known comment of Samuel
Johnson, 'When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life', is
as true today as it was in 1777. Johnson went on to say, 'for there
is in London all that life can afford', which also still holds
good. It is a city which bursts with museums and galleries, some of
which are amongst the finest in the world; it has one of the
highest number of theatres found in any capital city; it is a
shopper's paradise for the discerning buyer and bargain-hunter
alike; its pubs, clubs and restaurants are numerous, varied and
legendary; and it has vast expanses of parkland for recreation and
leisure. London is a city of immense size, where the old and the
new live comfortably cheek by jowl. Pageantry, modern technology,
quaint customs, the latest in fashion, ancient traditions, the
bustle of modern-day life, the tranquillity of a garden square,
international finance, street traders and architectural
masterpieces appear to have been thrown into a vast melting pot and
have survived to provide an irresistible medley of ancient and
modern. "London", in both pictures and words, speaks for itself.
Gerald and Marc Hoberman have walked the streets and hills of San
Francisco and taken to the air to seek out the vistas of a mystical
urban kingdom bounded by bay and ocean, set apart by its vision and
unique frame of mind. Their photographs of San Francisco's Golden
Gate and Bay Bridges span the gulf between the myth and the reality
of a city which was founded by Spaniards, put on the world map by a
Gold Rush, shaken and burned by a mighty earthquake and
conflagration, then built anew from the ashes. With precision, the
Hobermans lenses encompass the skyscrapers of the Wall Street of
the West and America's capitol of innovation. In neighborhoods like
Chinatown, North Beach, and the Haight-Ashbury, the photographers
have documented a cosmopolitan melting pot of ethnicity,
lifestyles, and diverse philosophics. "San Francisco is produced to
the highest standards, combining cutting-edge, state-of-the-art
reproduction and printing technology with the timeless art of
creating fine books that endure. San Francisco writers Maxine Cass
and Fred Gebhart contributed their unique perspective with original
text for each striking photograph. "San Francisco, the book and the
city, can be savored time and time again by those who yearn to
leave their hearts in San Francisco.
