Outdoor Photographer Holiday Book Guide - 2002

Every year in their December issue, Outdoor Photographer Magazine publishes their list of best photography books of the year in their holiday book guide. We've taken the liberty to reprint this list from 2001 and a few of their comments on this page as a guide to some of the better photography books of the year. I have highlighted a few with the cover images but all of the books are recognized equally by the magazine.
