I loving love photo books. I should have started posting here earlier. Here are my newest acquisitions/stuff thats currently on my desk:  Untitled by Stingray of Doom, on FlickrAlkanphel's book is awesome. Nuff said.  DSCF5003 by Stingray of Doom, on FlickrTechnically not a book per se, but one of those artsy fashion magazines printed on super heavy paper with the tears of angels (and priced accordingly). Some really interesting stuff there, but it kinda tries too hard to be edgy.  DSCF5006 by Stingray of Doom, on FlickrMichael Wolf's Hong Kong: front door/back door is kinda disappointing. I really like this guys stuff in general, and the work in this book is strong, but on a technical level a lot of these images fall apart. A great deal of images are muddy and unsharp, as if they are severe crops taken from an early digital sensor (which might be the case). I had a chance to see his later work from Transparent City in person, which was printed huge, and it didn't seem to suffer such problems. I feel like the book was printed too big.

Got a fat stack of Life Library of Photography books, at a local Goodwill for a 50 cents a piece. Really awesome set of books dealing with different facets of photography, and filled with Life Magazines gorgeous photos. The information in these books is really good too, especially if you are shooting film. There is a whole section in one of the books on diagnosing problems in color negative development for example, and one for preparing your film gear for arctic environments. I highly recommend them, especially since last time I looked amazon resellers have them even cheaper than what I got them for.  _DSF0044 by Maciej, on Flickr _DSF0046 by Maciej, on Flickr _DSF0049 by Maciej, on Flickr _DSF0051 by Maciej, on Flickr
