Summary: Captures The Magic
Comment: The Fiesta of San Fermin is flat out the greatest festival in the world. It has excitement, joy, and fellowship. Many arrange their lives around their return. Fiesta has more aspects and flavors than can be savored in one year. Each return brings more enrichment, depth, and opportunity.
I speak from personal experience. I have not missed a day for over 25 years. Although slower, I still run with the bulls at every opportunity.
Jim Hollander is a world-class photographer who has drunk deep. He has known Fiesta for many years. In this book, he captures reflections of the magic that is Fiesta. His images capture excitement, joy, diversity, emotion, and the people. This book is the best possible introduction to Fiesta. It is also the best way to remember for those who have been there.

Comment: Dear Sirs,
I am a veteran press photographer with over 30 years experience. I have also been to Pamplona and ran with the bulls.
I am a good photographer , Hollander is not. Jim Hollander is a great photographer.
This is the best book I have ever seen on the Festival and all it's glories.

Summary: A Magical Memoir Of A True Artist
Comment: Pamplona has many extraordiany photographers who have documented Fiesta de San Fermin from the first days of photography, and a number of gifted foreigners, most notably Igne Morath, a founder of the famed Magnum Agency in Paris, have done excellent photographic essays of Sanfermines. That Igne Morath praised this book is all anyone need know to judge its artistic value.
No photographer in the history of fiesta has worked longer, harder and brought more talent to bear on capturing the essence of the celebration. By the time Jim Hollander begin to photograph fiesta, he was already a veteran of many years. His knowledge, deep understanding, and love of all aspects of the fiesta, together with his tireless dedication and devotion, make this volume more the memoir of an artist than just a beautiful photographic essay. In that sense, this is a historic work.
One will not find as extensive a collection of fiesta photographs anywhere, nor will one find a more artistic array of Pamplona images anywhere. This book is sui generis, one of a kind, and well worth its cost, for one needs to view this not as the purchase of a book, but rather as the acquisition of a fabulous art collection.
The essay of Matador Franciso Rivera Ordonez is a very rare thing for any reader to encounter (Matadors rarely write this way about themselves and their work) and Ordonez's writing is as articulate and illuminating as is the prose of veteran American runner Joe Distler and Candadian David Pierce, a colorful character who is presented in both his prose and Hollander's photographs.
There will not be another book like this one because there will never be another photographer who will devote so much of his professional life and talent to documenting Fiesta de San Fermin.
