Not for photographers
The book is a mish-mash of copy pastes from other sources. Quotes from famous artists, photos of pages from other books. The author even quotes himself numerous times!Redundant is a mild word. Every quote is repeated numerous times. The handful of famous photos/paintings are repeated over and over.He simply lays a grid over photos and paintings and some subjects lay at intersecting lines. Someone has obviously pointed out to the author that the photos and paintings also generally match up with Rule of Thirds grids because he does (over and over) try to disparage the Rule of Thirds.This book must be for people who want to increase their knowledge of art trivia for impressing their friends. The book is not for people who actually pick up a camera and make photos.

Nice as an introduction to geometric principles in art
Interesting to see the principles applied in so many ways. Also looked at the YouTube videos, where the lines came up one by o e

One of My Favorites!
If Mr. Miagi devoted his life to photography instead of karate, this would be the book he would inevitably publish. For the photographers out there who need a foundation of science before they begin experimenting with the magic that is photography, this book will give you just that. It was exactly what I needed when I decided to dive deeper into the hobby I plan to base my life and career on. I keep very few books around the house, and even fewer in places where they are readily accessible, such as my "coffee table." THIS book however, has kept the spot it earned when I first read it. Nothing in the world is more amusing than seeing a friend pick it up and become rapt in fascination.

Mind Blown
Being a combat photographer, the rule of thirds has been drilled into my head a lot. I have recently gotten into landscape photography and wanted to learn more about composition and photography. This book did not disappoint. I have not looked at anything the same and feel a better connection with art.
