Borut Peterlin has also done a series of photobook reviews.
Such a shame, isn't it? I also wish she'd do more of them.I was going to include Kim Beil's channel but she has only posted a handful of videos and the last one was quite a while back. But I do like them and wish she would post more frequently.
My latest addition. I recently came across a very modestly priced first edition, but I couldn't get past the ~1" rip in the dust jacket. So this will do:

I've got my eye on a couple of Brett Weston titles; "Master Photographer" and/or "Photographs from 5 decades." what say the jury? Is one or the other any better? Are there a bunch of duplicate prints if i end up with both?
I see that Steidl is finally about to release Robert Adams's Summer Nights, Walking and Eden. Both are currently available for pre-order and they're supposed to ship next month. I've already got the original Summer Nights and Summer Nights, Walking so I'm probably going to pass on that one, but I'll likely pick up a copy of Eden.

The books discussed in this thread are consistent with this definition.What's looked for in a photobook is particular attention to the book as an object, in which the selection of images, sequence, scale typography, and materials are all carefully considered.

Not sure what's going on a Steidl, but it seems like the floodgates have opened and they're releasing a new book almost daily.
I see that they've just released a new William Eggleston book entitled Mystery of the Ordinary. It contains some of Eggleston's early B&W work which I think is interesting (I'm still kicking myself for not buying a copy of Before Color when I had the chance at a reasonable price) but the color images look to be the same ones published in nearly every other Eggleston book. So it's a pass for me, but it could be interesting to someone who doesn't currently own any Eggleston monographs.
Unfortunately, I'm quite disappointed by the rendition of the images in the book, which is very lackluster compared to what I saw hanging from the wall at C/O Berlin.
I'm ashamed to admit that I have zero Robert Adams on my bookshelf. These recent Steidl developments will likely correct that flaw.
That is disappointing. Steidl books are generally very well printed.
Steidl books can be hit or miss. I respect the man for his output but in many the printing leaves something to be desired. Some of the college press print great books. Yale; University of Texas; Chicago; Princeton all print very high quality books.
Thanks. Where can one source these apart from the usual suspects (Amazon)?
