1001 Photographs You Must See In Your Lifetime

What kind of book takes you five months to read? A browsable book, of course, and that's exactly what 1001 Photographs You Must See in Your Lifetime is. It wasn't 1001 pages, but close to it, and it's filled with pages and pages of photos that you'd like to blow up and paste on your walls. There are stories behind the photos as well, and you will want to read those, too.

I'm planning to pass this on to my photographer sister as I want her to get a chance to enjoy all this photographic lusciousness, too. An absolute delight.
