Lots of Gursky talk and photo major bashing, so we might as well

My favorites:
Robert Frank, The Americans & Hold Still - Keep Going (I found a stash of Frank books used, so I own almost everything he's published within reason)

Diane Arbus, Diane Arbus & Revelations, giant coffee table book of her entire life's work, contact sheets and methodologies.

William Eggleston's Guide

Eugene Richards - Fat Baby (retrospective), Americans We (which contains the most powerful and alternately heartbreaking and heartwarming image I've ever seen - a shirtless man on a dirty mattress on the sidewalk clutching a dog to his chest), Cocaine True, Cocaine Blue

David Perry - Hot Rod (less impressive now, but it was the first book of photographs I ever got into)

1968 - Magnum Throughout the World - photographs from the Magnum agency + text by Eric Hobsbawm & Marc Weitzmann

Destroy - most of them

I've enjoyed these recently:
Joel Sternfeld - Stranger Passing
Andreas Gursky - Photographs from 1984 to the Present (this one has the best print quality and detail)
Martin Parr (ed.) - Langweilige Postkarten
Todd Hido - House Hunting (too hard to find now, wait for a proper monograph)
Julius Shulman - Modernism Rediscovered

there's also a book I've been looking for but can't remember the name of. It's some UK photographer (and people from his studio?) during the 50s and maybe early 60s, who took intense technicolor pictures of fairgrounds and dining rooms and other public leisure spaces. They look like hyperreal postcards. any ideas???
