My current favourite photobooks are Immediate Family by Sally Mann and American Geography. by Matt Black. I am still waiting for the Summer Nights Walking reprint, ordered for my birthday two years ago. I hope the new Kozu publication of Marianthi Lainas will appear soon too.
What are your favourite photobooks?

I guess the top book I own is Philippe Halsman's "Sight & Insight". The guy was a genius and made some amazing portraits. The book is full of anecdotal stuff too which I find fascinating. Picked up in a charity shop for a fiver which, looking at eBay prices feels like a pretty good deal.
I also have a signed copy of Brian Griffin's "Black Country DADA" which I love, and sits alongside Anton Corbijn's 1-2-3-4 and Kevin Cummins' "Looking For The Light Through The Pouring Rain". Yes. I was a child of the 80s....

The English by Ian Berry. Bought it when it came out in the '70s and it made me want to take photos like those.
Hill Shepherd by John and Eliza Forder, Dark Days by John Darwell, The English by Simon Roberts.
There's a theme to my choices which is less about photography than it is about subject matter. I blogged about my Desert Island Photobooks last year.

Thanks. I posted this thread to get some titles to look at that members here have appreciated. Please keep them coming.

Thanks. I have watched. two flip through videos and I want them both! The books. by Alec Soth and Vanessa Winship. Edit: Can only find a special edition of the "she dances..." book beyond budget. Just bought Blackwater River. This could get expensive!

They're both stone cold classics, the Vanessa Winship book is one I find myself automatically pulling off my shelf whenever I'm in the mood to just look at photos. She has just launched a new book (Snow) which is pretty good as well, I managed to pick up a copy last week at her book launch.
Is that here in the UK? Is it a hardcover?

The book launch was at Photobookcafe in London, which is well worth a visit as they have a huge library with a few out of print books.
The new book is a softcover. I think Huxley Parlour in London have copies to go along with the exhibition there (which is free to enter), the online photobook shops are still taking preorders:
Snow
Deadbeat Club 2022 Softcover, 1st edition New In Snow, Vanessa Winship’s latest monograph, we see that what’s not entirely comprehended is far more compelling than what is well understood. Perhaps that’s a truism, but it’s one that is rejuvenated and refreshed by each new and peculiar telling...
