Critics Review
An economical way to build a library of great photography. Each of the 50 books in the series focuses on a single photographer and features 60-plus pictures, an essay, a biography and a bibliography.

A crisp ode to American photographer Louis Stettner [and] a worthy celebration of an important chronicler of 20th century city life.– “Publishers Weekly” (10/23/2025 12:00:00 AM)
