### ⭐⭐ 2.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Disappointing
  

*by G***Y on Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2008*

With over 500 pictures culled from thousands of Holga enthusiasts they could have come up with a much better selection of pictures than this. There are some great holga photogs out there but they aren't in this book. If you like looking a loads of pictures of people with their tongues sticking out you will love this book. If you think that something is art just because its blurred and has light leaks all over it you'll be in heaven. If you expect more than this you'll be disappointed.There are only a few black and white pictures, probably 95% are in color.  There's a whole section full of tips, most of which involve taking a picture and then turning the camera and re-exposing the same piece of film.Or putting a pice of colored gel over the lens to use as a filter.I can figure this stuff out on my own.  Then there's a whole biography section of anyone who contributed to the book, mostly filled with the above mentioned portraits of the contributors. Why not show their work instead? No offense, but I don't really care what they look like, I'd much rather see their work.I gave it 2 stars because there are a few good pictures in it. Also, It wasn't that expensive. But it could have been a really good book. Less fluff/padding, better tips and better pictures. This is a book better suited for the self obsessed "me" generation rather than a book for photography enthusiasts.Instead I recommend

    . , a much better book about plastic cameras. The photos that will make you want to pick up your camera and it also has useful fixes and hacks for your holga that will improve its function. In other words, great pictures and real tips. And when they do showcase photographers work, they show the work, not pictures of the people who took it.  I'm not connected in any way with the recommended book, except as a satisfied buyer.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Great Inspiration/Conversation Piece
  

*by A***0 on Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2008*

This book is great for those looking to explore the world of the holga. It is packed with all kinds of great photos and shows a complete array of all the holga is capable of. The beginning of the book takes a few chapters to explain all the neat little tips and tricks you need to know to get the most out of the camera, there are some user-submitted tips, there are user bios, which really show how many different people are into these cameras. I took off the dust jacket and it's just a black leatherish bound book underneath that says HOLGA in the center as well as the name of the book. This book is so much better that any of the other lomo books out there, I got those too, and they weren't up to the standards this creative book sets.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Great into to Holga!
  

*by J***D on Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2008*

This book rocks the house. After I bought my Holga I figured, what the heck, I'll check it out. It's proved to be a great source of inspiration and entertainment. I've learned some interesting techniques from this book, most of which are described in enough detail so that you can try these modifications yourself. An entertaining way to learn more about your Holga and some of the many tricks it's capable of performing, not to mention, great photos! It now graces my fireplace mantel and is a lovely introduction to the world of plastic toy cameras.
