Best PhotoBooks of 2014 lists, that is. But not every list is a true “top ten.” Time magazine had photography editors, curators, and writers from here and abroad take a stab; their list runs to nearly 30 titles. And American Photo, with five categories, has the longest list of all. So I went through ten of this year's top ten lists and selected one favorite of mine from each, for the 2014 DART Top Ten PhotoBooks.

But it’s entirely up to you, dear reader, to decide on the Best Photobooks of 2014, whether you're choosing a great gift for a friend or adding to your own library. Here goes, in no particular order.
