Welcome to our Ninth Issue! •
We hope you had a wonderful holiday season, which for some of you, may still not be over just yet. We think that the holidays are a great time to find new photobooks or spend time with recent book purchases.
As we do each year, we share our annual list of Interesting Photobooks, see link below, which is the collective mind-meld of our staff. Hope you enjoy our list.
The entire PhotoBook Journal staff wishes each of you a wonderful and very creative New Year!
Cheers & Enjoy
