Buy used photography books

Post placeholder image

I have a huge collection of photo books. I love browsing through the pages. Studying one only photographer is also very inspiring to me. And most of the time they have something to tell.

At the moment I order my photo books used via amazon.de or abebooks.de. It is unbelievable what you can find there.

I ordered Jim Brandenburgs first Edition (the one with parchment around it) for 0,79 €!!! It has a dedication in it. Plus shipping costs I had to pay less than 7€.


Or the glorious book Windows of the Soul: My Journeys in the Muslim World from Alexandra Avakian for 7,-€.

It is also a way to get books that are out of print, like the best photography book all of the time

Stay This Moment: The Photographs of Sam Abell

or

The Family of Man

And It helps keeping our world green. So lets go shopping and tell me, what you have found there.

    Nice finds. I have picked up some nice used books, more on photographic theory, on ebay.com here in the States. Titles such as “On Being a Photographer,” and ” ‘Why People Photograph.” Only recently have I started to pick up books by individual artists. I’ll check back in when I pick up a few.
