I assume you are talking about his book "The Americans". When it came out, it got terrible reviews, complaining about unsharpness, graininess, tilted horizons, and in general, showing American life in a bad light. But it influenced a generation of photographers and is now considered a classic, and one of my personal favorite photography books.
I've seen the book "The Americans" and remember reading that it became a very influential work. The book I was actually looking at is the "Robert Frank" volume of "The Aperture History of Photography Series". Thanks for commenting.
