I like tapas. Small portions of delicious food where you taste a lot of different food and flavours. You won’t get full from the individual tapas, but ranging across a lot of different small dishes, you eventually will be full.
This books is a bit like tapas: 100 different street photographers. Hand picked by the author David Gibson. And for each photographer, one image and one page of accompanying text. Really well written, well researched and an interesting read. And I think he has picked some of the most interesting street photographers of all time (Saul Leiter, Vivian Maier and Diane Arbus just to mention a few).
If you want to get to know these photographers in depth, then this is not the book. It only scratches the surface for each photographer, but if you want a good overview and a light touch on the 100 greatest street photographers of all time, this book comes highly recommended.
