The second book of color series is, from 60s and 70s, so called “father of color photography”: William Eggleston’s Guide
http://store.bookdummypress.com/product/guide-by-william-eggleston

This book is published by MOMA, directed by John Swarkowski, in ‘76 where they exhibited the first one-man show of color photographs ever in history which caused an enormous split impact to the public. The book and show unabashedly forced the art world to deal with color photography, a medium scarcely taken seriously at the time.
First Edition. Text by John Szarkowski. Signed by Eggleston.
