Not quite coffee table material January 14, 2005 4 out of 6 found this review helpful
This is a beautifully produced book containing some stunning photographs. The text is well written and - for what has the appearance of a coffee table book - quite copious. But it isn't profound. If you want to know about deserts, there are certainly other books that will tell you more. On the other hand, if you want a stunning book to adorn your coffee table, this is perhaps a little too textual; there's a whiff of scholarship about it which isn't very Conran Shop. If you want a coffee table book about deserts, this is the one, but for desert rats and loft-dwelling addicts of the Style sections this is probably one to pass up.
