That means you can only get books that are either used, or out of print first edition, unless it's an exhibit catalogue. The public library might be a good spot for now, as they are usually 20-40 years behind in purchases when it comes to photography books. That would be about right for the Meatyard material. But George, seriously, next time you want, desire, need, wish, and all that, to make a purchase, run it by the list. You won't go wrong, and it makes the self discovery process that much more rewarding. Getting that Swedish pig-iron to swat photons is going to be a tall order. A nice Rollei TLR, with its fixed lens, is the best disciplinarian around when it comes to learning shooting self discipline and compositional practices, whether for beginners or old-timers alike.
