Hello
I thought I'd start a little thread here as I can image loads of us being complete bookworms. Even if it's wildlife reference books, it still counts
I was in London yesterday, visiting the Rodchenko exhibition at the Hayward Gallery. We also popped into The Photographers Gallery, which housed an excellent exhibition that I would recommend. Anyway, wandering around Embankment and South Bank, we found books stalls and a little book shop. I love browsing the old dirty and dusty books! Sometimes, I don't mind what is in the book, it's the actual item itself that is beautiful! Though if the content is good, result!
I came away from the day with two books and nothing over £14 spent. I found an original 1860 copy of 'The Province of Reason' which is full of Philosophical analogy and reasoning, which was interesting and I found a 1963 Collins 'Watching Wildlife' book! It's great! As I'm going to be trying my hand at Mammal and Bird photography, I thought this was a great find as it explains the best ways to get familiar with the animals!!!
I wanted to know if you guys have got any books that you wouldn't trade for the world and that just remain highly sentimental.
That reminds me, I've got a Signed Ewan Spencer (Big photographer) book which I got signed by him with a personal message
