If you study Alfred Stieglitz, buy this book

An excellent book for the price. Not great photo quality, but you can find images on the internet or buy each one from National Archive ($$$$$). Organization could be a little improved. Although named "pictorial guide", doesn't mean "pictorialism guide", just all pictures with guide of title, author and issue.

Good but with some limitations

The book is very good and very complete. I only see 2 problems! First, all the pictures are in black & white. Even the paintings wich takes off a bit of the magic of the camera work. The second thing, is that the information doesn't seam to be very well organized. I'm talking about the subtitles. We're presented with all the images in a row (from each 2 pages) and then, at the end of the second page, we have all the subtitles together. In the end, it is very good for the money that's asked for it but not too good...
