Huge fan of japanese photographers, one of my favorites is Shomei Tomatsu: Skin of the Nation Looks like you can see some of the pages here: http://www.photoeye.com/BookteaseLight/bookteaselight.cfm?catalog=YU061 If you don't know Shomei Tomatsu and you like other Japanese photogs like Daido Moriyama or Araki you gotta check him out. As far as photo books with words go, everyone who loves landscape photography should read Thoughts on Landscape: Collected Writings and Interviews by Frank Gohlke. "Eden becomes the object of our desire only after we are cast out. The best landscape images, whatever their medium and whatever other emotions they may evoke, are predicated on that loss. They propose the possibility of an intimate connection with a world to which we have access only through our eyes, a promise containing its own denial. In the case of landscape photographs, the paradox is sharpened because the world represented must have existed for the picture to be made, and yet the existence of the photograph attests undeniably to that world's disappearance."
