We have a feeling our readers didn't encounter enough 'Best of Lists' across the media landscape at the close of the year. So here's a list of all of the 'Best of 2013 Lists' featuring some of our recent photography books. Allow us to revel in this recognition while we begin placing wagers for which Spring/Summer 2014 photobooks might make it to the best of 2014.

The Strobist reviews both Last Launch and Dan Winters's America:

"What's better than a new book from Dan Winters? Try two new books from Dan Winters.

Both are gorgeous; both are limited press runs. So if you delayed getting your copy of his Periodicals book before it went out of print, don't miss out this time.

Short version: Last Launch is a love letter to the recently closed space shuttle program; Dan Winters's America is like having a one-man exhibition on your coffee table."
