I have books with photos by Adams, Weston, Caponigro, McSavaney, Sexton, Loranc, and others. But I think if I had to choose, I would grab four reference books that would help me make photographs instead of look at those of others (as much as I like to do the latter as well).
If pressed, I would pick:
Thornton, The Edge of Darkness, Adams, The Negative, Adams, The Print, Ctein, Post Exposure.
If I could cheat and take a collection of photos too, I would take Explorations, by Ray McSavaney.
