Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Hands are, with the possible exception of the eyes, the most expressive parts of our bodies, asking for more or less, telling us to come or to go, scolding, rewarding, searching and finding, and at their most intimate, loving and lustful. Hands reward us, calm us, feed us and scratch our backs. They intimidate, bless, encourage and stop us. They soothe, caress and sometimes go where they shouldn't. We may take hands for granted, but Elliott Erwitt does not as he demonstrates in this collection of photographs.

Rated by buyers -
Elliott Erwitt has a wonderful outlook on life. In this book, he focuses on the human hand and shows a lot of love, humour and humanity in the process. The variety includes a man kissing a woman's hand in Poland, an argument between an elderly couple in St. Tropez, people praying in Moscow, beautiful sunbathers in Rio, children playing in New Rochelle and travelers in Budapest. Most of the subjects aren't famous which is a strength. The book shows everyday scenes that could have happened anywhere. The book also includes some famous people including: Jacques Cousteau, John Updike, Richard Nixon and Nikita Khrushchev. This book is a joy and a smile. Erwitt has great vision and compassion. Many people would have walked right past these scenes without even seeing the potential to communicate by capturing touching and humorous images.
