In this event industry insiders Darius D. Himes and Mary Virginia Swanson demystify the process of producing and publishing a book of photographs.

Himes and Swanson provide an overview of the publishing industry; an intimate look at the process of making a book; a close review of how to market a photo book; a section on case studies, built around discussions and interviews with published photographers; and a final section presenting a wealth of resources and information to aid in the understanding of the publishing world.
