Top 3 Selling Photography Books of All Time

I am thinking a lot about photography these days... check the "Top 3 Selling Photography Books of All Time" http://elizabethavedon.blogspot.com/2010/11/top-3-selling-photography-books-of-all.html by ELIZABETH AVEDON. I still remember vividly the first time I read On Photography by Susan Sontag and Camera Lucida by Roland Barthes; both very small (materially speaking) books with almost no photographs in them, manage to embody much of the essence of the way “we” (as 20^th century westerners) relate to photographs and photography.
