The Books on series takes a close look at photo books that have shaped how people think about photography. Each volume picks one book and examines it in detail, covering the images, the layout, and the circumstances behind its creation. The series ran from 2009 to 2017, producing eight entries.

Rather than offering general surveys of a photographer’s career, the series treats each photo book as a self-contained work with its own structure and intent. This format gives readers a deeper understanding of individual books that might otherwise be known only by reputation or through scattered reproductions online.
