A Photographer's Life: 1990-2005, by Annie Leibovitz

Annie Leibovitz is in the news again with her new retrospective of her own life and work from 1990-2005. Her just-published book includes very personal and intimate photos of family and friends, including the life and death of her own father and close friend Susan Sontag. But also in the book are many of her famous images as she goes back and forth between her public and personal life's work over the years. The new book is published by Random House.
 
Leibovitz is best known for her iconic images of such famous celebrities as John Lennon and Yoko Ono (laying side by side in the nude for Rolling Stone magazine), her famous photo of a pregnant Demi Moore that was on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine, as well as recent images of Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes and their new baby, Suri, also shot for Vanity Fair.
 
Here's a review of the book by the New York Times:
