What do I know about books?
Not only have I written 40-odd books on photography, I designed several of them myself and am a veteran of industry tools such as Aldus Publisher, Quark XPress and InDesign. Unlike most photographers and authors, I work directly on the production files with my publisher's design teams. In short, I know what makes a photobook truly work — both visually and technically.
