Slightly unfair review by the previous reviewer, when they say the book doesn't have all the great photos of the last 50 years. It is made fairly clear by the tag line of the book that it IS a collection of photos from the Allsport and Hulton-Getty. Anyway, for me, it was enlightening to see a lot of extraordinary photos that I had never seen before. I've already seen the really famous ones !!

Yet another great book from ALLSPORT

Sports photography is both a fascinating medium and one which has stood the test of time. Despite the onset of the digital camera and computer generated images, the craft remains fresh, yet few give thought to the creativity and skill of our best sports photographers. Sportscape shows in detail the creativity, efforts and techniques that world - class photographers use to take the stunning pictures we see in newspapers, magazines and other printed media. Many great pictures feature in the book taken by photographers such as Clive Brunskill and Adam Pretty. I recommend it for anyone with a keen interest in the art.
