Praise for the hardback edition:
McCurry's lushly coloured, far flung reportage has made his work some of the most recognisable among that of Magnum photographers. --Telegraph
It makes you want to get out and see the world, camera in hand... --Amateur Photographer
Steve McCurry Untold spans 30 years of McCurry's career and includes fascinating ephemera from his travels: diary entries, photos of him at work, and some of the 20-plus passports he's gone through over the decades... He manages to make the world seem enormous and quite small; exotic, and somehow familiar. --Time
Spread over some 250 pages are famous and lesser-known images, as well as anecdotes and shots of ephemera he gathered along the way, including letters and journal pages. --Wall Street Journal
