This book is amazing. The detail in the photographs and the expressions on their faces are incredible.

Awesome ... I found this at our local library's annual summer book sale. The sale started Saturday and I didn't go in until Monday. This book was STILL THERE! Crazy ... And BTW, many of the portraits are of apes, not monkeys. The book's authors DO point this out, but many people do not seem to know the difference. So ... chimpanzees, oran-utans and gibbons, all pictured here, are apes, not monkeys. Of course they are very much related to monkeys(as humans are to apes). Baboons are monkeys, not apes. Barbary "apes" are monkeys, not apes. I could go on, but the call of brevity restrains me.

Not really a "read" book, but so fun I had to share it. Definitely grab this from the library if you get a chance, the portraits are awesome.

This book will save the day! It's very uplifting, entertaining and hysterical. Scary how much primates are so like us. This is a defient coffee table book.

Studio portraits of monkeys (and a few apes) that show them to have as much, or more character than most people we've met. Amazing.

I purchased this book because I love Monkeys and the idea of the book interested me. I expected to like this book but I LOVED it. The photographer Jill Greenberg is remarkable, I couldn't believe all the expressions she captured. I found some pictures funny, some sad, some interesting, but all were touching in some way. The only thing I would have loved more is if the bio's of the Monkeys in the back of the book were more in depth. A funny side note is that one of my all time favorite Monkey pictures is called Little Screamer and while flipping through the pages of this book, that picture was in there. I couldn't believe it.
