There is no reason big beautiful pictures cant be included.2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. DisappointmentBy ESHThis is a terrific book -- in its original form. which I am fortunate to have a copy -- a limited edition of 450 copies.The images in the Kindle version are very poor quality. for which the is no excuse--its potentially a very good medium.Also. one of the outstanding aspects of the original is the perfection in typography. totally lost in the Kindle version (again. not for lack of capability of the Kindle)This rendition is far more like a dime novel than the incredible beauty of the original.Shame!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
