I love Francis Bacon, but there are a lot of books printed of his work. I am looking for recommendations for the best Francis Bacon books to buy.
I want the reproductions as large as possible, very well photographed, and as inclusive of the most important works as could be expected. I would love a a 18" tall catalouge raisonne, but I do not think that quite exists...

I do not really care about the writing, for me it is all about the reproduction of the works.

I am partial to the 2009 Skira Francis Bacon exhibition catalog. The quality of the reproductions is excellent.

The catalogue from the 2008 Tate exhibition is also very good. The Catalogue Raisonné is in preparation: http://www.francis-bacon.com/news/?c=Catalogue-Raisonne
