(2) PS This book complements rather than competes with Tana Hoban's I Read Signs. Signs haven't changed a lot in twenty years, but each photographer's approach is different. While Hoban's style is close up, Milich pulls back to show his signs in context. Neither book provides additional text, allowing the photos to speak for themselves. There is an arc in the sequence and pacing of Milich's photos and plenty of detail for repeat viewers.
