Geoff

In 1983 I bought a copy of

The Flame of Recognition: His Photographs Accompanied by Excerpts from
the Daybooks and Letters of Recognition (Aperture Monograph)
(Paperback) edited by Nancy Newhall

Amazon UK still sells this collection. It will give you a feel for the
man's work. "Pepper No 30" is a favourite.
