The first of two extensive volumes, this publication explores more than 200 photobooks through 750 colour illustrations, detailed captions, and an illuminating text written by the photographer and critic, Gerry Badger. The books featured were selected by both Badger and the renowned contemporary photographer Martin Parr, whose passion for the photobook has made him a world authority on the subject. They have chose what they believe to be the most artistically and culturally important photobooks in the history of the medium.' (excerpts from front flap)
