My collection of photography books includes many mentioned in this thread. These are some of my favorite LF books: East 100th Street, Bruce Davidson; Haunter of Ruins, Clarence John Laughlin; Wright Morris, Photographs & Words; and Inner Light: The Shaker Legacy, Linda Butler with text by June Sprigg. If we were not restricted to LF, I should include George Tice's Stone Walls, Grey Skies; Up River, the Story of a Maine Fishing Community, Olive Pierce with text by Carolyn Shute; and Szarkowski's Looking at Photographs, for the text as much as the photographs - clear and unpretentious writing.
