I was wondering if there is a dedicated thread about various types of photography books from camera types to lighting and exposure and flash?
You know, a book thread where we can start a new topic on a particular book and get advice from others who may have it, to, those looking for recomendations on various books.

Is there a place on the forum for this or are there maybe plans to start one?

Thanks.

I hope you all had a great Holiday.
A belated Merry Christmas.
Happy New Year!

Regards,

Karl

Not that I have ever seen. Not a bad idea except there are literally soo many books out there.

That would be the idea.
A place to discuss the various books and offer different POV's.
I have a bunch of books that I would like to hear others views on and get opinions on others.

Maybe a new thread??

If I may make a suggestion.

I think a dedicated page on books with threads that can be started would be actively used.
There is no book I buy without checking out reviews on Amazon.
This forum would be great if you could click on the books page and then see the various threads started.
I would visit that page all the time to see what the photographers here had to say about various photo books as well as PP books on CS5 and lightroom.
I could see references popping up to address something written and then be clarified by the many well versed here.
A sticky is nice and the forum is outstanding but this would be a great addition IMHO.

What do you think?

Karl

There's no reason you (or anyone else) can't do a dedicated review of a book and link to it from the general sticky, similar to the bags and tripods stickies.
