Eye Candy: Show and Tell (with brief notes)

Why show and tell?  These are a sampling of titles that are relevant and timely for current photo-book, artist book, and designer authored books.  Over the past two weeks I have begun rereading classic (?) texts related to artist books and photo-books, among others.  I wonder (to myself) how many people involved with the Camera
