Fully revised and re-researched, The Picture Researcher's Handbook 8th edition is the ultimate guide to the image sources of the world
Now in its 8th edition, The Picture Researcher's Handbook has become an essential companion for anyone who is sourcing images. If you need to find a picture, this book can help. Researched by Hilary and Mary Evans, this brand new edition gives you even more detail on all the major sources of images around the world. Image libraries have changed significantly over the last few years. The trend towards subject specific sources has resulted in many libraries merging or disappearing altogether, resulting in more work than ever to keep the entries up to date and relevant to researchers. This edition has more information than ever before, including websites, email addresses and detailed descriptions of material available. You can't afford to be without this invaluable resource.
