Signed photobooks

Background information

Signed photo books are highly desirable for the photo book library of collectors, e.g. because they

1. the mass-produced object 'photo book' stand out from the crowd and are only
2. are only available in limited numbers
3. bring a personal touch to the collection.

In addition, the collector can show that he is up to date. Since photo books by still unknown photographers are often produced with caution only in small editions and the publisher/photographer wants to ensure a high distribution by the signature, these volumes often become later sought-after collector's items.
