National Geographic Rarely Seen: Photographs of the Extraordinary

This is such a great book.Took a chance and ordered as a gift on strength of the description on Amazon.Fortunately I was not disappointed and I am sure that a lot of people would be happy to find this under the Christmas tree!Book is packed full of photo's of things you wouldn't normally see. These range from the open mouth of a hippo to an aircraft landing on a small caribbean island seemingly just a few feet above the heads of sunbathers on a nearby beach!Ideal book to browse through with a glass of wine in front of a fire.I think that even those who don't normally like reading would enjoy this as there is very little text ;- the photo's speak for themselves. Good gift idea for people who have everything apart from a copy of this book. Can see myself buying additional copies for a few birthdays in the coming year.

A beautiful book with a captivating selection of images that can be enjoyed by all, not just photography buffs. As a coffee table book the larger size is the one to go for, but it is large (and heavy) so the smaller size might be better if it’s going to spend most of its time on a shelf.

Disappointing condition. "Happy Christmas from Mum and Dad "on the fly page, the dust cover was marked and the corners were all rubbed. Impossible to give this as a gift. Book returned

I purchased this book for my husband's 50th Birthday as he is a keen amateur photographer. It is absolutely brilliant and he loved it. The photos are amazing, varied, interesting and some are just astounding. The book is high quality and I would highly recommend it.

Absolutely amazing pictures in this book, I recommend this to anyone interested in the world we live in and photography

When this arrived I was very pleased. It was a lot bigger than it looked and great for the price. Lovely for anyone who likes photography.

Absolutely stunning photographs of beautiful places rarely seen around the world. High quality hardback book with vivid colours. A great book for anyone that enjoys the national geographic.

This book is a must for people with photography interest. I bought it for my partner who's a professional photographer, and he was blown away by how amazing it was.
