Amazon.com Review
Amazon Best of the Month, December 2007: December seems to be the classic month to celebrate the coffee-table book--those oversized tomes that sit out on display, easily enticing anyone within arm's reach to flip through the pages. One of my favorites of the season--and one you'll want to keep out all year long--is Andrew Zuckerman's Creature, a photographic safari of astounding studio shots of an ark's worth of animals, ready for their close-ups against a stark white backdrop. Mesmerizing, inspiring, and ultimately very, very cool. Badgers, fruit bats, and bald eagles never looked so good. --Brad Thomas Parsons
Product Description
Photographer Andrew Zuckerman's strikingly detailed images of animals from around the world are as delightful as they are inspiring. This collection of astonishing studio portraits of 175 wild creatures from baby leopards to parrots, bears, mandrills, and many more are stunningly foregrounded against white backgrounds, depicting their subjects with rare sensitivity, insight, humor, and wonder. Zuckerman also an up-and-coming filmmaker, whose first short film, High Falls, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2007 has created a volume perfect for animal lovers, photography fans, and anyone fascinated by the world around us. Creature is a beautiful and thought-provoking look at the fragile wonders of the natural world.

 Incredible book December 23, 2008
L. Bower (California)
Simple, striking, this book has to be seen in person to be appreciated. A perfect gift for a someone who is hard to buy for. But be sure they have room... this is a big heavy book.
Incredible Book December 16, 2008
Kenneth Ashley (Florida)
This book is absolutely incredible. The photos are uniquely shot and presented. Each photo seems to be in HD. Often, the animals display human qualities and features.
My wife and I have purchased at least a dozen copies of this book since it was first printed (all from Amazon). We have given copies to our closest family members, friends and colleagues as holiday and special gifts. Everyone who has received a copy has been blown away.
We highly recommend.
