photography books
Printed picture collections
Photography books are volumes featuring photographic images, typically as the primary content rather than illustration.
They range from art monographs showcasing a single photographer's work to instructional manuals teaching technique.
Coffee table books emphasize large-format images meant for browsing: She picked up a photography book of national parks.
The term also covers histories of the medium and collections organized by theme or era.
