What Customers Say About Plastic Cameras: Toying with Creativity:

Ms. Bates' book is itself a work of art. It includes superb images taken by masters of the toy camera, complete guidance on how to use a Holga, and ideas for more plastic fun and creativity. It is well organized, complete, and a great introduction to a subculture of photography.
This book has beautiful and inspiring images taken with toy cameras. Aesthetics aside, it contains wonderful tips and tricks to improve your own photographs. Very informative.
Well worth the price. Excellent Holga and toy camera book. Has an honored place in my book collection. Well written, understandable, full of relevant info, well designed and laid out. Gave me great ideas, and hold to achieve them, superb images and artists included that I looked up further on the internet. I read it often too. Well WORTH the price.[.].
I got this book to give to my wife along with a Holga for her to play with. She got some really cool shots with hers and this book provided some nice ideas for things to do that we might not have thought of. I thought it was great. Fun book, fun cameras.
I really enjoyed this book and as an avid pinhole photographer it inspired me to play with some of my Diana Cameras and Diana clones for some new image making. Great photos, good sharing of ideas and an overall enjoyable read. Some good ideas were given for adapting toy cameras. Great image making to you all-Chuck Flagg
