WOW photos
I love this book - a gorgeous collection of images of crop circles of every kind. All the photographs are large and clear and colourful. There's one per page except where one takes up two pages. Each crop circle has a little keynote giving the date, location, and dimensions - just enough information and no more. There is an interesting introduction to the whole phenomenon at the beginning of the book, but from there on in it's a collection of photographic art. Perfect to dip into and refer back to time and time again. It's got the "Wow" factor!

A picture is worth 10,000 words
Lucy Pringle lets these photos speak for themselves - she simply notes the place, the pattern, and the "medium" - ie whether the artwork was produced on wheat or barley. Virtually no attempt to explain or analyse or compare - just allow them to sink in and let the images work their own magic. She picks 90 of the best aerial photos of works from 1993 to 2006 - with some close-ups as well. Some of the formations were so amazing that I gasped - I had never seen some of these in the press. A beautiful book and a great gift.

If you want more information after this, buy Freddy Silva's book "Secrets in the Fields" - a very calm and methodical academic research into the phenomenon with lots of detail that will help you understand what is going on. And it ain't two guys with a plank and a chain, be very assured of that.
