For the Photobook issue we have conducted a poll of people who have an informed opinion about photobooks. We have approached photographers, publishers, designers, booksellers, librarians, critics and curators, asking them to select ten books each. 112 have replied with 1,119 individual book nominations. And the winner is... Robert Frank's The Americans. Here you can see all of the books that received more than one vote in one list and the choices of individual selectors along with their comments about their selections in alphabetical order (all details here: http://www.source.ie/photobook/greatest.html)
