PARR, Martin & Gerry Badger.

The Photobook: A History Volumes I, II & III. First editions of the definitive photobook reference, documenting the most important photography books to date. Volume III was published in 2014, ten years after the first. The work "is Parr's homage to the things he loves most, an extensively researched, and beautifully presented, guide to the photobook as an artform [sic] in itself... It attests to Parr's belief that the book, rather than the exhibition, is the most accessible and influential medium for the spread of photographic ideas, styles and visions" (O'Hagan).
