Street Photography Now

If you're interested in street photography or just good photography, check out this book by Sophie Howarth and Stephen McLaren. It features forty-six of the world's top street photographers, hundreds of outstanding photos and four readable essays. It's one of the better photo books I've seen/read in a long time. It made me want to grab my camera and a cup of coffee and hit the street.
