Review: Passion, Commitment, and a Slice of History - Robert 'Bob' Campbell died homeless and alone, his life seemingly meaningless and forgotten. Only the boxes of photographic negatives, disintegrating contact sheets, and various memorabilia would provide clues to the man and his vocation. Author Jessica Ferber, through dogged efforts over a period of 13 years, brings Bob and his phenomenal photos back to life. It is hard to know which is the more intriguing story - that of the photographer or the recent college graduate who discovered him in a pile of boxes and embarked on a journey spanning more than a decade. Both are stories of passion.
Review: A beautifully written book as well as a wonderful human interest ... - A beautifully written book as well as a wonderful human interest story. What a grand endeavor for such a young person to take on and to stick with the project for so long! It takes a lot of blood,sweat and tears! Awesome pics of the old timers as well as NYC, as it once was......Great job Ms. Ferber, Bob is smiling from above

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A quiet genius
*by R***D on February 18, 2016*

A wonderful biography of a man I came to know from 1995 through 2000. Bob was in fact a kind, thoughtful and deeply inquisitive soul. When we talked he actually minimized his photography, but would show me photos he had taken of iconic figures. He spent much of his time in LA building sets, occasionally traveling to rock festivals to build stages and sound towers. The picture on page 31 is the man I came to know, like and admire. Thank you Jessica for your labor of love.
