I have American Surfaces and Uncommon Places by Stephen Shore... do you know if Selected Works has a lot of the same work? I'm always looking for more of his.
Actually, I was surprised how many were not from those two books. I have those two plus, Transparencies, small camera works and Steel Town and there were many photos I had never seen in this book. Of course some will be familiar too. It is worth it IMO. I would look into Modern Instances if you are a Shore fan.
Transparencies is the one I am really wanting to get.
No, I don't think there would be much of a market for bootlegs of a niche product like photo books. They weren't that much cheaper. Just cheaper than buying them in Europe or New Zealand where I live.
Yeah, I'm not sure you need to buy Modern Instances... but it was a good read though no? I enjoyed it. I´ll likely read it again in the future.
Yeah, publishers do not make a lot of money on photobooks in the first place and the audience is tiny. Not bootleg material.
Agreed! I appreciated the way the book was put together, the fabric hardcover is nice. I might repurchase used if it's at a decent price.
Just a heads up... there will be an expanded edition in October:
