As Nolan Dalla said:
Undoubtedly the best poker photography book ever created, this is actually a two-volume master set of photographs taken during two different periods in poker history. The first edition of Poker Face released in 1981 includes photos (mostly black and white) from an era when the players seemed larger than life. It remains the only comprehensive archive of poker which exists of that period. Twenty-five years later, Latvian-based photographer Alberts (who made his name photographing several rock n' roll icons years earlier) returned to Las Vegas again and shot the modern poker scene, this time in color. That collection became known as Poker Face 2, released in 2006.
