Steve, thanks so much for doing this. Off the top of my head here are ones I look at for inspirations: Anything by Sarah Moon (Coincidences, Little Red Riding Hood, etc.) Some are hard to find. Ron Van Dongen for wonderful flowers I especially like "Ops Opis" <http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw/103-6228853-9379018?initialSearch=1&ur l=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=Ron+Van+Dongen&Go.x=11&Go.y=11> Josef Sudek (my absolute favorite) http://www.amazon.com/Josef-Sudek-Anna-Farova/dp/3929078554 Masao Yamamoto É. http://www.photoeye.com/templates/mShowDetailsbycat.cfm?Catalog=TR198 Photoshop Books Katrin Eismann http://www.photoshopdiva.com/books.html Scott Kelby http://www.scottkelbybooks.com/ I go back and refer to The Photoshop CS2 Book for Digital Photographers by Kelby.

A couple of weeks ago, I stopped by the library at the International Center of Photography in New York. The staff had a list of books that they told me are the most referred to photography books by teachers at the ICP. I have compiled the list, and created links to Amazon. May of the books are out of print, but still available. Some have become very collectible. Will the others? <snip>
