Descripción

A digital coffee table style ebook for iPad, iPhone, iPod.

A beautiful photography book featuring black and white and colour photographs of the amazing abandoned ghost town of Belchite in Spain.

Belchite was abandoned after a fierce battle during the Spanish Civil War.  It is a monument to the high price of war on ordinary civilians whose lives were devastated after their town was destroyed.  The town today is nothing but a ghost town, slowly crumbling back into the red dust that surrounds this area of Spain.  The magnificent churches are falling down and the skies can be see where there were once vaulted ceilings and domes.  This book captures the beauty of the desolated town, and the silence that has fallen upon it.

The digital coffee table book format:

The iPad/iPhone is the perfect device for viewing coffee table books.  The backlit screen perfectly illuminates photographs and helps them come alive.  It provides a vibrancy and illuminicity that can be sorely missing when on the printed page. 

The iPad offers the opportunity for everyone to own a beautiful coffee table book at a fraction of the price of the printed bulky editions, but still containing the high quality photography that is so appreciated and desired.
