Consider this volumn on Walker Evans:

It was written to accompany the exhibition of his work in NY, SF and Houston in 2000 - 2001. I bought the paperback edition in SF and it's excellent.
Too bad that writers like Jack Kerovac and William Burroughs didn't pack a camera. What a combination that would make! Kerovac, however, wrote the introduction to Robert Frank's The Americans. I ordered this version yesterday from Amazon and hope that introduction is retained:

Even though he is not particularly well liked by photographers; I will offer up Helmut Newton and his autobiography. Whatever you might think about his images, he did lead a very interesting life and if you like borderline eroticism, you probably like his images.
