Gustave Caillebotte: An Impressionist and the Photography

That's on my list. With so many others.

Today came in for free: "Leica myself" - a book with Leica user's selfportraits, organized via a flickr group. They printed my handed in photo among the smaller photos' section.

In case you are interested: I'm on page 18. Glad that other fellow flickr members and also rff-members are in the book, too.

Among them, featured in the larger printed section of the book, are Helen Hill and wraggy on flickr.

Very nice by Leica to send it for free. The funny sidenote: The box is huge and filled up with styrofoam. I had to dig in with my hand to catch the book and almost thought there would have been another surprise. 😀 Many thanks to Leica!

Vivian Maier: Out of the Shadows .....a short review
If you are expecting to see a collection of really compelling images by Vivian Maier, I would advise you not to buy this book. The images are certainly not up to those printed in Maloof's book, "Vivian Maier: Street Photographer ", in terms of image impact. Also, "Out of the Shadows" comes up short in printing quality; the images are not printed to same standards as they were in the Maloof book.

"Out of the Shadows" does fill out some of the mysteries of Vivian Maier...where she was born, her upbringing, her lifestyle, and her love of recording the daily activities in her life. To that extent this book accomplishes its goal. By bringing Maier out of the shadows, it fills in and nicely dovetails with Maloof's work.

In conclusion, if you wish to add just one Vivian Maier book to your library, I would choose "Vivian Maier: Street Photographer " and skip "Out of the Shadows."​
 
Herbert List - Das Gesamtwerk (Complete Works) - published by Schimer/Mosel

Lists photographs accompanied with quite some text/essays for a very nice budget price (9.95 €)
 
'dancers among us' - jordon matter - I think you need to look at the online videos to get full value from this: they show some of the photos being taken.

'Picture Perfect Practice' - Roberto Valenzuela - another enthusiast with a slightly different take on portraiture and with suggestions on how to improve one's technique.

Both are books I will come back to time and again.
