For Spain, for instance, instead of the customary travel-poster view of a bullfight, there is only one huge photo, spread across two pages-a memorable view of miles of rolling red earth planted with olive trees. Half a dozen postcard-size shots could have been crammed into the space, producing nothing more than a sheaf of postcards...
