The Best Books about PhotoBooks!! So.. at MAO we got an email the other day asking what the best resources are for collecting photobooks. Sadly.. we accidentally deleted this person's email.. SHIT...OOPS! So we couldn't answer this person directly. My apologies to that person! BUT, Since it's a good topic, we thought it was worthwhile of a full posting filled with our vapid, self serving studied thoughts on this important topic.

FYI.. OK.. 1. Century. This is the book which set the standard for photobook reference guides. With 2 to 4 pages for each book, the textbook is well researched.. and has put together some of the best minds on the topic of important photography books. This is a MUST have for any serious photobook collector. FYI.. This reference book has also been largely responsible for increasing the prices ten fold for any photobook even mentioned inside these pages. 2. Hasselblad Center, Goteberg, 2005. 423 pp., 404 illustrations, 8x10". Sadly we missed this show in 2005! But, 3. 4. Apollo - The International Magazine for Collectors.

Engaged review of contemporary art and thought.
