The Photographer's Eye10 reviews
John Szarkowski

The Museum of Modern Art, New York, 2007

A good overview of B&W photography

I like collections of photos by many different artists, and this book has a good number of diverse pre-1970 photos to browse. There is a minimum of text and that is fine with me.

How We Are: Photographing Britain
Val Williams, Susan Bright

Tate Publishing, 2007
