I'm concerned enough to not want to purchase it out of fear I might end up ordering a translation I cannot understand...

- dacryn 3y agoUsually the pictures have a bit of small text next to them. Don't expect full stories or documentary style text. You're not supposed to read these books, but skim through the pages and look at the pictures. The text is only there to give some context. Think of it like the text next to a picture in the museum. That is also often only 2 or 3 sentences. And repeated in multiple languages. So whichever you order, you'll get definitely English, no worries there. Look, here you can zoom into the text, it's clearly three paragraphs, the first one repeated in three languages https://taschen.makaira.media/taschen/image/upload/f_webp,w_1640/v1680614762/products-live/86eb4b3625b959ce6c4471ede607954b.jpg https://taschen.makaira.media/taschen/image/upload/f_webp,w_...
