His second book, ''Gathering Light'' explores natural and artificial light and its intrinsic relationship to photography itself through photographs of objects and places from all over the world. The book featured an introduction by Dave Hickey, a prominent art and culture critic, and an essay by Eduardo Cadava, faculty in the Department of English at Princeton University. Published in 2004, Ross's third book, ''Waiting for the End of the World '' is compiled of photographs of bomb and other underground shelters the world over, including an underground city in Beijing, China. Michael Darling, chief curator at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, wrote about ''Waiting for the End of the World ''that "Ross's images of bomb shelters represent a crushing indictment of the current state of world affairs as well as a clarion call to action."〔 The book features an interview with Richard Ross by Sarah Vowell, a ''New York Times'' best selling author.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nytimes.com/best-sellers-books/2011-04-10/hardcover-nonfiction/list.html )〕 After ''Waiting for the End of the World ''Ross published three books compiling successful U.S patent applications from the last century; ''Patently Ridiculous'', ''Patently Erotic'' and ''Patently Christmas''.
