This book contains beautiful photographs but not much else. Purporting to be an in-depth look at the election of President Obama, this special collection is in reality a mishmash of previously published columns in the New York Times, snippets of news stories from Times' reporters, and -- in an annoying twist -- declarations on why the NYT's election coverage was so fantastic.
If you want a coffee table book with gorgeous photography, then this could be for you (though you would not be missing much if you skipped over the text). If you are looking for insight, however, then you would be better off taking a pass on this book.
1 1/2 out of 5 stars
