If you have been following my posts here at Photography 24/7 you may have already noticed that I have a big soft heart for photo books. I buy them all the time when I shouldn’t as I’m literally running out of space on my bookshelves. However, there is nothing like sitting down with a good cup of coffee (or a cup of tea if you’re so inclined) and look through a beatiful photo book and just letting yourself be inspired. Photo books are part of living a photographic life.
Chronicle Books offer some great photo books in their photography section and here is a little list of some great photo books that caught my eye:

I also noticed Chronicle Books offer the beautiful Moleskine Notebooks which has been used for the past two centuries by great artists and thinkers, including Vincent Van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, and Bruce Chatwin. The trusty, pocket-sized travel companion held their sketches, notes, stories, and ideas before they became famous images or beloved books.
