On a side note, is the point of the book that everyone knows the photo, so they don't need to show it? Are they trying to conserve ink or waste paper?
No, neither conserving ink nor wasting paper - I think the point is to give readers the experience of "re-creating" the photo in their mind, and also to make the point that famous images exist independent of how often and where they're reproduced.

I want to find this book too. It sounds very postmodern.
It sounds like a book that Chronicle Books would publish. And, looking through their website, I'm positive this is the book.Unforgettable: Images That Have Changed Our Lives
Tab, you’re brilliant! I sure hope that Claire comes back to find it! She probably won’t, though. At least Kate and I will be able to read it.
Great news! THIS IS THE BOOK. I came back snooping and had to create a whole new account. Thank you Tab!

I bought this book about five years ago at a design bookstore in Berkeley and regret giving it to my friend without writing down the name because it is IMPOSSIBLE to find - googling "famous photographs without images" does no good! Anyone happen to have it on their shelf and can tell me what it's called or who edited it so I can find it again?
