Been buying a lot this year the best being Let Truth be the Prejudice by Ben Maddow abouth the life of Eugene Smith . Great images and a real insight in to the man's mind. Highly recommended.
Some of the older books can be as expensive as a good lens.

"River of Shadows" by Rebecca Solnit -- in part, a biography of Edward Muybridge, but also an exploration of how technology impacts our lives (including cinema, the descendent of Muybridge's work). A very interesting book.

My last photography related book was "Wer sind Sie, Henri Cartier-Bresson?", a pictorial volume with several essays about HCB's life and work.
Not sure what's the English title of it.
Before that there were Günter Osterloh's Leica M book and a volume about the photos of Stanley Kubrick before he became movie director.

Four issues of 1920's era magazine, "Kodakery."
Prior to that, nothing for several months after William Mortensen's "The Model."

I'd rather call it "bibliophilia", btw.

Cocaine True, Cocaine Blue is a photo essay published in the mid-1990s about crack in New York and Philadelphia. Am I missing the joke?

Pure unadulterated inspiration
A book filled with beautiful photographs of landscape, street scene, portraits... or the 'unexpected' fill me up with pure unadulterated inspiration. I just looked through a new book called "Family (Photographers photograph their families)" by Phaidon. Now I can't wait to get the portrait lens on the camera and corral the family in some beautiful light somewhere!
Other recent purchases: 2 books of Cartier-Bresson photos, 1 of Wynn Bullock, 1 of Henry Wessel, 1 of Gary Winogrand, 1 of Lee Friedlander, and the newest Nikon Compendium (to satisfy a bit of the late-night GAS attacks).

I picked up two photo books here in London last week: Satellites by Jonas Bendiksen and Istanbul by Alex Webb. Both are fantastic.
