Coffee table style books

[Matt.]

I have a sudden desire to own a few of these at some point, and we're looking for 21st birthday presents for my cousin Do you have any? or want any? I'm talking about the books with loads of photos that are usually quite expensive and big!

There's a cool one on camo that i want, http://www.amazon.co.uk/DPM-Disrupt...f=pd_ka_1/202-7410006-3699053?ie=UTF8&s=books

Now if only i could afford to reduce my 'wants' list instead of just adding to it all the time

Any subjects in particular?

 

[Matt.]

Not really, just looking for some good ideas For my cousin though he works with race horses, so maybe something related to that?

Anything with Mountains in or photos from the air (just got a second hand one of Amazon from the 80's - superb!) gets my dollar.

Now the youngest is past the scribbling on anything stage I can actually leave them on the coffee table!

I got this for xmas last year. Some cool shots of Toronto and a really good price too. It's also a big book.

I bought "The unclosed eye" ..the music photography of David Redern a few months ago......ISBN 0-9550718-0-1. 400 photos of musicians, some of which make you go WOW! and some which make you say..I could do that...so very inspirational.

Also got "First Light" by Joe Cornish.... ISBN 1-902538-24-2...I'm not really into landscapes myself (yet) but can appreciate a master at work.


Tons to chose from, but all cost mucho pennies!
