"In this book that deals with violence the visual style supporting the theme - the illustrations themselves, the strong red color and the fragmented typography - is finely balanced with the classically refined layout of the text. Enough space has been left white, like in the gallery of its context. The materials are pleasant. The exhibition panoramas, extending to four pages, the coloring of the page edges and the bullet holes on the cover render a fine appearance first rate."
