Wonderful book to share with anyone.

After discovering this book at a friend's home I went home and immediately ordered three. I plan to keep one and send the others as gifts. In fact, I plan to purchase more to use for gifts. Regardless of age anyone can enjoy this fascinating book. The photography is flawless and generates a whole new respect for nature and it's inhabitants. Would recommend it to any one.

Monkey Business

Jill Greenberg's photos are simply amazing. The subjects, all monkeys of one kind or another, convey a wide range of emotions and, as the introduction suggests, may remind you of friends, relatives or other close acquaintances.
This isn't a "photo book of animals". It's artful photography by a woman who has somehow gained the trust of these wonderful critters. Toss it on your coffee table and let guests enjoy the images.

A great gift for those who love to laugh

We came across this book while on vacation. It was the funniest book we had seen in a long time. We bought a few copies to give as gifts for our friends who like photography, animals, humor, etc. The photos are well done and the facial expressions on the monkeys are unbelievable.

judging a book by its cover

I purchased this tome strictly because of the unique cover. I didn't know if digital trickery was involved, or if it really was a portrait. It and the amazing and beautiful pages inside are real photos. The quality and skill exhibited by the photographer is stunning. I was looking at my ancestors and they showed anger, aloofness, joy, shyness and all the other facial variances that I see in humans. It is the type of book that you can look at over and over, yet find something fresh each visit. Highly recommended.

Appeals to ALL ages

Photographed beautifully and well-made enough to withstand an enthusiastic 2 year old. I find the subjects to be representative of every emotion from pathos to sympathetic to hilarious. A beautiful piece of art and a joy see.

Book Description:We share about 98 percent of our DNA with chimpanzees, our closest biological cousins. And never have the similarities between simians and humans been so amusingly and brilliantly captured as in Monkey Portratis. Jill Greenberg has spent 15 years photographing celebrities--from Clint Eastwood to Drew Barrymore--for leading publications, but has recently focused on actors of a different sort. She has been photographing monkeys and apes, many of whom have appeared on film or in television shows. Her intimate portraits of these animals convey a startling range of emotions and personalities, and evoke an almost eerie sense of recognition. Each of these 76 amazingly anthropomorphic photographs will remind you of someone you know. These monkeys in all their glory will cause you to laugh out loud and to wonder just how different we truly are.Monkey Business DaxPumpkin Mala Dax [Exclusive Outtake]Dax [Exclusive Outtake]
