Hopefully I can get more Josef Koudelka books but honestly some of them are just way out of my price range. I did get this Hardcover today though.

I just saw the current prices online…it's crazy

From the editor :

This book intends to correct the somewhat blurred image of Ernst Haas’s color photography which, due to its extraordinary vibrancy, was much in demand by the illustrated press of its time. Haas’s color work, published in the most influential magazines and various books in Europe and America, earned him worldwide fame, but at the same time has often been derided by critics and curators as too easily accessible and not sufficiently “serious.” (…) Haas never printed these pictures in his lifetime, let alone exhibit them. With their striking inventiveness and complexity, they firmly stand their ground in the face of the work of Haas’s fellow photographers. Due to its enormous popularity, Steidl is now offering Color Correction in a new, unaltered edition. 

Last books I bought

Quite surprised when I spotted the Olaf in a 2nd hands store in Williamsburg, NY

Some found in thrift store

Inez & Vinhood is new

All of the frames were made in MSPaint and the pictures are all from infrared cameras.

I posted it on archive.org if you want to scope it out.

Signed First edition of Redheaded Peckerwood, bought directly from Christian. It was one of the last few copies in his possession.

Some yellowing, but otherwise great condition.

$225, $10 shipping. DM for purchase.

I was able to get my hands on this at a local bookstore. I've wanted it for a while but usually it's a little pricey. This one is the paperback version of it so it was less expensive but still great to see the entire piece of work at last.

I teach Darkroom Photography in a NYC public high school. When there's downtime between printing, processing or I want to do something a little different, I direct them to some of the books I have here. Some class favorites are "Girl Culture" by Lauren Greenfield. I must have purchased at least 6 copies of this over the years. "Fruits" a compendium of images from the Shoichi Aoki magazine, AutoGraf by Peter Sutherland and "Back in the Days" by Jamel Shabazz.

Across from the books are some posters that I've collected over the years. Of note are the Larry Clark show of photographs from his KIDS movie, the camel on Park Avenue, and the Spencer Tunick photo. The Tunick is up high so the nudity doesn't hit them immediately. It often takes a semester of looking at it to catch what's going on.

Looking for Fan Ho A Hongkong Memoir and Tony Ray-Jones A day off.

Hey guys, I have a signed first edition of this book by Peter Beard. I was curious to see if there would be any interest here, or would like to hear where others have had success selling rare/expensive books.
Thanks!
