After nearly 2 years in the making...it was well worth the wait.5
If your looking for a fantastic collection of photographs, and insight into how and who collects as well as in depth descriptions on both these arts this is the book you need. Fantastically write, well presented and beautifully laid out in an easy to browse and study format.

Its a stand out, I look forward to more by Laura Noble

The owner's manual on collecting photography5
If you were to choose just one book to learn on collecting photography, this one qualifies as the only reference needed. But be advised, the marketplace changes and this book doesn't substitutes being well informed on current trends.

Excellently researched and very thorough.
