donna coyote said Basic rule used to be: Form Follows Function. Type absurdly small.. I was very eagerly awaiting this book but very disappointed. I respect the writers greatly and know they have much wisdom and know-how to impart. BUT the type is so miniscule you actually need a magnifying glass to read a caption. The type size overall was sacrificed for the excess of blank space presumably for some aesthetic purpose. Form follows function!! A book must be readable first, prettily designed second. I've had it several years now and it is just too much work to read it so I haven't. I set it aside for when I want to make that extra effort just to decipher the tiny type and read it..

Great book if you are invested publishing or self-publishing your photo book.However, the authors should have skipped the many pages explaining the history about photo books and get into more details about what software you can use to design your book, what format publishers accept, how to find and deal with printers and self-distribution (e.g., how to get an ISBN number, how to get your book into Amazon, etc) if you decide to go the self-publishing route. Its all bit generic and important details are largely missing.. "with useful resources, case studies and practical ways to move" according to Mel. Comprehensive guide, with useful resources, case studies and practical ways to move forward with you project. I hear industry professionals refer to this book as their "bible" to photo book publishing.

This expert guide is organized in six sections covering the rich history of the photo book; anoverview of the publishing industry; an intimate look at the process of making a book; a close review of how to market aphoto book; a section on case studies, built around discussions and interviews with published photographers; and a final section presenting a wealth of resources and information to aid in the understanding of the publishing world. Since the early 1990s, the number of photography book publishers has continued to grow whi
