Books for Christmas...?
I mean books about, or of, photography. What reading matter would you like in you stocking this Christmas morning?
Put your letter to Santa here and perhaps he'll read it... I was looking earlier in the week and found a new collection of John Berger essays that would have been an ideal stocking filler to put on my list, but temptation got the better of me and I bought it... I think I'd like a big book of brass lenses. Loads of info on all of them, and how they look in a photograph, in one mighty tome... maybe Santa will write one. |

I got my wife to buy me 3 books for Christmas:
Sad Landscapes: Josef Sudek Behind the Mountains: Ragnar Axelsson Last Days of the Arctic: Ragnar Axelsson Although I have ordered them on her behalf, and they will be delivered before Christmas I am not allowed to have them until Christmas day Still, I have bought a few for myself lately so will have to content myself with them. |

The Great Life Photographers and Joe McKenzie's Pages Of Experience are on my list . . and the Aperture Minor White Years looks interesting, but v expensive . . . I am running out of space for books of all varieties . . .

I am always searching Amazon, Albris and Ebay for interesting books either on photographic technique or of images by other photographers and when we go on holiday I am always on the lookout for secondhand book shops where I might find the odd bargain (used to be better before the advent of the Internet when the booksellers were not always sure of what they had). |

I know what you mean Ed. I have had some gems from a second-hand bookshop near me in Helmsley. They always have a good selection of photography books.
Saw a very interesting book this week in Waterstones in York. "These Faces" by Timothy Neat. Environmental portraits. Worth a look. I may order it for Christmas... Alan |

We stayed in Helmsley earlier this year for a couple of nights, spent a very cold day in Whitby when the train we were due to go home on was cancelled and we had to wait for a coach, the next 30 minutes took about 10 years off my life as the youngish driver was throwing the coach around across the Yorkshire Moors. Didn't visit the bookshop, but we did visit the Indian restaurant
