I have ordered 'Only God Can Judge Me' Bruce Gilden. Wife got me Contacts Magnum for our wedding anniversary last month. Found a copy of Ed Ruscha's Gas Stations in a charity shop for £2, result.
 
Fred Herzog, Modern Color. Dealing with a series of health crises in the house (wife, dog, myself) since September, I haven't had time to do much more than flip through it idly. Hopefully that changes over Winter Break and I can sneak some time with it in between grading my students' research papers.
 
Bert Hardy's Britain, The Bluecoat Press, 192pp.
ISBN13 9781908457165

Bert Hardy was a Leica PJ working for Picture Post, photos of war and post-war Britain.
 
Helmut Newton "Work" and Helmut Newton & Alice Springs "Us and Them". I'm pretty ignorant of Newton's work although I've been aware of him for...what, fifty years. Personally, I like Sieff's eroticism better but there's no denying Newton cultivated his look really well.
 
Art in the Age of Mass Media (Walker), Daido Moriyama photophile, Concerning the Spiritual in Art (Kandinsky), The Minds Eye (Cartier Bresson) and a book of Lichtenstiens work.
 
Masahisa Fukase - ISBN 978-2-36511-202-4
This is a monograph of the work of one of the most original photographers of post-war Japan, published in 2018 by Editions Xavier Barral. I've long been a fan of his 'Ravens' series and this book gathers together many of his diverse projects into one place. If you like photography that defies rules or categorisation it's highly recommended.
 
I always seem to have a book or two on order. The most recent I've read being "The Scotch Whisky Book" by Tom Bruce-Gardyne. But that's off topic so....

Most recent photo book, "Nude" by Ralph Gibson. It's good but kinda overwhelming...too much of a good thing. There's only so much flesh you can take page after page.
 
Werner Herzog - A Guide for the Perplexed" conversations with Paul Cronin... with a lot of relevance for still photographers. The book is dedicated to "the Last Lion", Amos Vogel... so I took a look at "Film as a Subversive Art" (linked below - running time 56 minutes) by the same Paul Cronin as I was interested in the history of Vogel and Cinema 16...
