Yes, I have some precious books I would never part with. Diary of Light by
Kertesz. What a piece of work! And only 3,000 in the world. (Leica
photographer for quite some time). 

And books by Sam Abell, Bill Allard, Salgado, Ansel Adams, Cariter-Bresson,
Elliott Erwitt, David Douglas Duncan, Elliott Porter, Gene Smith, the
Westons, Strand, and titles like Family of Man, etc. etc. I know my
retirement will be fun when I can't even leave my room. I can wander the
world (and history) through the eyes and lenses of the greats.
