Collecting Photography 2 reviews Gerry Badger
Mitchell Beazley, 2003
Highly Recommended - very attractive and very informative
+ An easy and pleasurable read for not just collectors
Content wise, the book is broken roughly into two halves.

Henri Cartier-Bresson: Photographer 3 reviews Henri Cartier-Bresson
Bulfinch, 1992
Beautiful!
+ Henri Cartier-Bresson Photographer + THE collection to own.
This is a beautiful book of duotones of Cartier-Bresson's work. It features the most famous photographs Henri has ever photographed and because it was excellently printed, you can truly feel the images with such intensity. This is a definite book to own if you love Henri's work.

Lee Friedlander: Sticks & Stones 4 reviews James Enyeart
D.A.P./Fraenkel Gallery, 2004
FINALLY!
+ Mr Chain-Link Fence delivers again + Friedlander a Genius
For years -- probably decades -- I've been hoping to find a collection of Friedlander's great photos of the urban and suburban landscape. I'd buy almost any survey or monograph just to have the two or three examples that might be thrown in among the works of others, or among Friedlander's own wide ...
