In his book Dacha, published by Fuel this year, photographer Fyodor Savintsev captures the beauty of dachas, country homes in Russian with deep cultural and historic legacies. The idea of the dacha stretches back to before the Russian Revolution, and though many of the structures have been lost to time, some still stand. Savintsev documents remaining dachas with a mission to preserve their future.

I recently realized I have a problem: I buy too many books, especially photography books. Not those cheap kindle ones but those beautiful printed and expensive books, which ended up decorating my wall, or coffee table, and, in my case, possibly many coffee tables.

The Internet is a treasure trove of information, but photography books are still a fantastic way to both learn about photography as well as be inspired by the work of leading photographers.
