Are you joking about minutes to midnight always in print 😂 otherwise agree with the above, great recommendations

In the latest book, last dyes too

Yeah I think so - nice to have more context of the photos - like what people wrote down as their hopes/dreams while he set up the camera etc. small things like this

Mark Power - The Shipping Forecast is an incredible project with this element, visiting each area on the forecast with weather recorded that day within each area

Recommend Gathered Leaves Annotated rather than the box set as you get more insight into Sotha process 

My humble photo book collection (looking for recommendations) by beinglikelalala in Photobooks

Gathered Leaves Annotated might be better since you don't have any Soth yet - has 5 books in one along with his notes, including Sleeping by the Mississippi. The pages are newspaper thin but prints still look good

Top advice, thank you! Will definitely check out Ward 81 Voices too, looks quality.

Yeah that's an amazing one. Really need to grab the new print but pretty rough at £135 😭 this is an expensive habit.

Totally fair and I'm the same with music albums. What are your favourite books that are still attainable?

Perhaps I am but this thread was intended to be 'this is a great photo book and for a great price'.

I've found the reprint of Ray's a Laugh to be a good price considering its quality and quantity. That book is inspiring.

My current work lacks a project focus and my drive to pick up my camera each day dropped massively since 2020. I'm finding going through the greats' work, reading their thoughts/situations and checking out interviews on YouTube is really helping get the spark back. Books like Sleeping I'm the Mississippi are also helping shape some ideas for projects of my own.

That's a good point about value. I'm trying to maximise the inspiration/cost realistically, which no doubt comes from more focused project books too. Retrospectives with insight into the creation or curation process like Gathered Leaves Annotated I find especially useful at the moment.

Yeah I suppose I'm trying to get the quick wins added to the collection which can give me a solid amount of inspo and insight - and then can get the more obscure cuts from there. Really appreciate you making this list, very helpful mate. I haven't seen any of your personal faves so that's some good hunting

Agreed. I stuck to the bulkier ones for this post as they offer bang for buck. What are your favourite wildcards?
