I've been working on the book collection and now that I've gotten rid of the fillers and have only the essentials, I have found that my coffee table books are somewhat lacking. What are some of your holy grail picture books and what are on your wish list?
I once owned the Christopher Wool Taschen book, but sold it because I needed the cash. I hope to purchase another copy again by the end of the year. It is indeed a huge book and comes packaged in it's own shipping box which is always a nice touch.
I consider photographer monographs coffee table books, even if their size isn't too big - for their small number of printings and almost always are printed and produced rather nicely. I just picked up the new Dirk Braekman monograph from Roma Publications which is very nice....

I also picked up the monograph of Viviane Sassen. I first saw her work in Photoworks magazine (cover) and loved it.
i'll post more once i get my digital camera back. these are the two recent acquisitions and my #1 on the want list (wool).
for now, let's hear what you got and what you want!
