AVEDON'S BOOKS
During his lifetime and beyond, Richard Avedon has authored or otherwise been responsible for some twenty large books full of great photographs. The first two, Observations (1959) and Nothing Personal (1964) were done during the time that I was associated with him and in which I had a hand in producing; the others came later and are still coming. Most of these are of exceptional quality, beautifully designed in large format and printed on heavy paper by skilled craftsmen. These are truly coffee table books worth buying a coffee table for. Here's a slightly incomplete list in chronological order:
