B. Smith said The Photobooks are a great series.. I loved the first of the series, a great introduction to the Photobook history.

The third volume in an authoritative and comprehensive series, The Photobook: A History volume III provides a unique perspective on the story of contemporary photography through the genre of the photobook.
