"Although [Friedlander's book Factory Valleys] described an essentially blue-collar world, Cray at Chippewa Falls is a similar mixture of urban landscapes and employee portraits. One might say that the landscapes are in familiar mode, but it is a mode that was virtually invented by Friedlander....When at his best, no one photographs better or more naturally than Friedlander. In Cray at Chippewa Falls, he is so close to his best that this has become one of the most covetable and instructive of company photobooks."--Parr & Badger
