Review title: old news
Product review: Mr. Shore's book couldn't possibly be more pretensious, or more out of touch with the fundamental changes that are taking place in the world of photography. His writing is wordy, his perspective self-promotional, and his ideas are trapped in the critical perspective of a mid 1970's college professor. If you're interested in a book that explores photography in the pre-digital era, you'd be better off spending your money on John Berger's "Ways of Seeing", or Sontag's "On Photography".
