Just got Robert Adams's What We Bought: The New World in the mail from a recent sale at Yale University Press. It's good! Well-presented photographs, and I like studying Adams photos, they go several layers deep intellectually, while also covering the 70s, which I love.

Recent haul of photo books from a trip to China. Thanks to my wife & her knowledge of how to find things cheaply in China.

I have American Surfaces and Uncommon Places by Stephen Shore... do you know if Selected Works has a lot of the same work? I'm always looking for more of his.
Actually, I was surprised how many were not from those two books. I have those two plus, Transparencies, small camera works and Steel Town and there were many photos I had never seen in this book. Of course some will be familiar too. It is worth it IMO. I would look into Modern Instances if you are a Shore fan.

Transparencies is the one I am really wanting to get.
I read Modern Instances without actually acquiring it for my collection. It was good, but didn't have enough of his work in a way that I want to come back to over time, like the collections do.

No, I don't think there would be much of a market for bootlegs of a niche product like photo books. They weren't that much cheaper. Just cheaper than buying them in Europe or New Zealand where I live.

Yeah, I'm not sure you need to buy Modern Instances... but it was a good read though no? I enjoyed it. I´ll likely read it again in the future.
Yeah, publishers do not make a lot of money on photobooks in the first place and the audience is tiny. Not bootleg material.

Agreed! I appreciated the way the book was put together, the fabric hardcover is nice. I might repurchase used if it's at a decent price.
Just a heads up... there will be an expanded edition in October:

Following the vast critical acclaim of Stephen Shore’s experimental memoir Modern Instances: The Craft of Photography, we are pleased to present this new and expanded edition, available in paperback. Perfect for both new readers and those wanting to learn more from Shore’s invaluable teaching...

I picked up a copy of Weston's Daybooks for a friend. And a Guy Bourdin retro from the Victoria and Albert Museum from 2003. I was looking at his books but they were all kinda pricey, then I found that one on Abe for only $11. Can't pass that up.
It is really a shame what has happened to the price of books these days. If you don't catch them right away, they are almost not worth buying. Then again I have a lot of books that are worth a multiple of what I paid for them.

Found a huge coffee table book of Peter Max's paintings and graphic art. Wow. Very colorful.

Another library discard: Maurice Chevalier "My Paris" Photographs by Robert Doisneau Obviously it is an old book with just a bunch of black and white photos. Right.
