= Album Petite Planète 1. Parr/ Badger I, p.243: (...) Robert Frank's The Americans is usually regarded as the epitome of the Beat photobook. But William Klein's magnum opus, Life is Good and Good for You in New York (...), a book with a Beat mantra for a title, surely has the edge in this regard. This is partly because it was the earlier model, partly because it is less political and more exuberant, and, importantly, because its conception is so complete - photographs, layout, design, topography, 'found' ephemera coalescing into what is in effect one of the first great 'Pop' books.
