Collecting Photography

the long version

"This is the essential reference work for everyone interested in collecting photographs, from the novice to the experienced collector." "People have been collecting photographs since photography began, but its growth in popularity in the last decade has been phenomenal. Interest in collecting has spawned an industry of galleries, dealers, auctions, fairs, and online sites all over the world. Yet photographs are complex objects involving a minefield of specialist and technical issues. For the first time in book form Collecting Photography assembles all the knowledge and information the photography collector needs."--Jacket.
