alas, it's getting to where i can hardly look at photo books, especially the new how-to:

http://www.amazon.com/Photographic-...=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1289065883&sr=1-3

promises a lot yet it's mixture of classic photos with the author's own shows the weakness of the latter. nothing new here. and:

http://www.amazon.com/Photographers...=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1289066120&sr=1-1

more recycled ideas with a great title!

i do recommend this one:
http://www.amazon.com/William-Alber...=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1289066212&sr=1-1

the portraits full of feeling and i suspect many of them never published in national geographic.

On a rather different style I have just read "Joe Cornish - A Photograher at Work" by Eddie Ephraums:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Photographe...=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1289503977&sr=1-1

Joe is a top gun landscape photographer who lives near to where I do. For many years most of his work has been done on a 5x4 view camera but he has now gone digital with an Ebony RSW45 with a Phase One P45+ back.

Of much more interest on this forum is that alongside the Ebony he has also been using a GX100 and latterly an LX3. The compact cameras were initially used as a "notebook" but are now used for commercial work, especially where a great depth of field is required.

Super book - I recommend it!
