Welcome to the Best Photobooks of 2009. Continuing were we left off last year, we’ve expanded this long photo-eye tradition to include top 10 photobook lists from a group of prominent photographers, bookmakers, editors, publishers and critics. Above you’ll find a complete list of the contributors, each linking to that individual’s list. The range of books selected for 2009 is vast — spanning continents and genres, and together they form a powerful survey of contemporary photography. Since our very format denies the idea of an over-arching and objective top 10, below you’ll find a more modest “master list,” made up of the books that appear on at least three individual lists
