latest additions to your library

Looking forward to your and John's reactions too.

For my part, I'm grateful for these reprints, even when they aren't 100% faithful to the originals -- they let me pick up books I couldn't really ever afford (or justify) otherwise.

Post Scriptum - Christer Strömholm

I had expected a good book. But this is amazing. Covers most of his lifework and different projects. Some photos are just beautiful and easy on the eye. Other rips your soul right out.

Thanks for reminding me about this great photographer, however I think the book is called Poste Restante. Is that right?
 
Recently finished "The Bang Bang Club", currently reading "The Kingdom and the Power" by Gay Talese (An insider's history of the New York Times newspaper), and am awaiting the arrival of "Slightly out of Focus" by Robert Capa.

Post Scriptum is fresh from the print and is a new book. Available in both Swedish and English. Cheap as well.

The title is a reference to Post Restante, but a new book.

A collection of his entire work as a photographer.

Coming to this later in life , so am I.
Although like Gary the expensive multi volume releases are proving to be a problem :)
Still I passed on the last Bruce Davidson and I`ll pass on the Eggleston.

Currently enjoying American Photographs.

I don't know about you all, but I am starting to get a little bit cynical about the onslaught of often high-priced, multi-volume, anchor-weight publications over the last couple of years (from many photographers).

But if it's up to the standard of Chromes it will be worth having, I think, assuming one has the funds/space for it.

Yes and they seem to be mostly coming from Steidl. I'm not an Eggleston fan but I'm a big Bruce Davidson fan and I did get the similarly priced Black & White. I don't really understand the economics of book publishing but I'm amazed that Steidl haven't issued a (relatively) inexpensive paperback set of Black & White. The original set was limited to 2000 with Davidson signing and numbering each book. You would think he'd be interested in his work having a wider audience than that...

I love Eggleston, and I bought Chromes, but yeah, I feel a little uncomfortable buying another $345 set. :eek:
 
I just got Steidl's "The Mexican suitcase", luckily via a German store where they put down the book-price-fixing. So I got it for 25 instead of 85 Euros. :cool:
 
"Power" from Platon. Just saw parts of the series at the Leica-Photo-Exhibition at Photokina. I think, it is a very good complement to "Unofficial Portraits" from Andrew Danson, which I really love.
