There is one page that compiles a half dozen photos taken at different angles to provide a bird's eye view of the city. It is magnificent.
Unfortunately, the rest of the photos are those shown in the film. If you can afford it - buy one of the prints.....you'd be doing more for the kids and have a larger selection to choose from.

This book, and the film just tugged at my heart. The book is well put together and the are thought provoking. I highly recommend this book.
The book features 223 pages of photographs, almost all by the kids from the slums of Kolkata. If anyone on your holiday gift list is a liberal lefty save the children kind of person, this is a great gift for them.
