    I'm looking for recommendations for the best book of Irish photos on the market at the moment, I'm not a photo buff myself so I'd appreciate all your input.

    Oh yeah I need to be able to buy online & get delivered also.
    Thank's y'all & happy snapping.

    Mods: This is not a christmas gift thread, please don't move there.:)

    OP, Irish photo's as in photo's of Ireland or photo's by Irish photographers?

    Probably a little biased ;) but this book is getting lots of great feedback;

    DK,

    ok I get it.

    that book looks nice & may fit my needs, can you tell me; are the photos in the preview the entire book or are there more in the book itself?

    lol, no not my book, I suppose because it's a boards.ie book and I enjoy most of the contributions that are made here :)

    It's looking like a one horse race which I'm sure is not the case in reality.
    Any other suggestions?

    If you can get your hands on a copy of Deirdre O'Callaghan's "Hide that Can" nab it. Superb!.

    I was given "Robert L Chapman's Ireland, photographs from the Chapman Collection 1907-1957 last Christmas.

    Chapman-small.jpg"The Chapman Collection is a unique collection of photographs spanning the half-century from 1907 to 1957 that offers a glimpse of a bygone age in Ireland. These remarkable photographs, complemented by his journal and diary entries – at turns descriptive and witty – are drawn from an archive of around 3,000 pictures"

    Apart from the Boards.ie Yearbook, which has a great variety of work, I can also reccomend Bill Doyle's Ireland. It's available from the Gallery of Photography and is a very nice retrospective of Bill's work.
