Well done. Excellent choices. I have three on your list. Very much looking forward to exploring the others. Thank you very much! For what it is worth, I would like to add Shelby Lee Adams' 'From the Heads of the Hollers' a beautifully made book of work from a lesser known part of the World.

Thank you. The Shelby Lee Adams looks very good too. Reminds me a little of Chris Killip's 'Isle of Man' photos.

I agree. I think what is so impressive with the Adams book is the format and the printing. Truly a coffee table book…. just add legs.

Well I'm very tempted to order it. If only for the portrait on P51 (as seen here): https://gostbooks.com/products/from-the-heads-of-the-hollers

‘Nothing Lasts Forever’ by Peter Mitchell it's so good. Really nicely done and does justice to the brillant Peter Mitchell.

It was about time
