The following list comprises two main types of book supplier:
1) on-line bookshops with strong photography sections;
2) on-line photographic galleries or dealers with strong photographic
literature sections.
Most, but not all, have 'physical' (as well as 'virtual') bookstores.
In addition to anything else you may find here, do
remember to visit the best possible source of all current photographic books -
at substantial discounts - ParkPhoto's own Online Bookstore (in association with
Amazon.co.uk).
