About This Item
London: Phaidon,, 2004-6. First editions, first impressions, of the definitive photobook reference work, documenting over 400 of the most important photography books to date. Volume 3 was published in 2014. The work "is Parr's homage to the things he loves most, an extensively researched, and beautifully presented, guide to the photobook as an artform [sic] in itself... It attests to Parr's belief that the book, rather than the exhibition, is the most accessible and influential medium for the spread of photographic ideas, styles and visions" (O'Hagan). Two vols Quarto. Original black boards, lettering on spine and front cover in grey, grey endpapers. With dust jacket. Illustrated throughout with colour illustrations. Fine in fine dust jackets. Sean O'Hagan, "Ace Oddities", The Guardian, 19 Dec. 2004, accessible online.
