This year we are celebrating the 25th anniversary of our renowned listing of the year's best photobooks. To mark this milestone, we've decided to do something a bit different. We've asked 88 internationally recognized luminaries from the photobook world to choose their favorite photobook of the year. Their favorite book could be unforgettable for any number of reasons but the chosen books affected our selectors on a very personal level. These books led each of our contributors to conclude, "If there's one book not to miss this year, it would be this!"

Rixon Reed's Favorite
Photographs by Richard Mosse
"Richard Mosse's The Castle surfaces among this year's incredibly rich sea of photobooks as an extraordinary tour de force that perfectly blends exquisite design with hauntingly rich content. Published by MACK, London, the book's intricate inclusion of multiple gatefolds, richly printed using silver ink on black paper, meshes perfectly with Mosse's unusual exploration of life in temporary refugee encampments along migration routes from Central Asia and the Middle East to Europe."
