By Lucas Foglia
$50 Signed — Purchase Book
Frontcountry by Lucas Foglia documents the changing American West as seen in some of the most sparsely populated areas in the country in Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas and Wyoming. Foglia presents the familiar expansive beauty of the American West, but also offers a view of the mining boom that is spreading across these rural areas. Though a combination of stunning portraits and spectacular landscapes, Foglia depicts the complicated relationship between the landscape and the people who live in it, and how each shapes the other.

The Beats
By Larry Fink
$55 Signed — Purchase Book
The Beats presents a series of photographs from early in the photographic carrier of Larry Fink. Made of the course of a year at the tail-end of the 1950s, Fink found himself in a tenuous friendship with a group of second generation Beats who made more than willing subjects for his photographs. Fink captured their exploits in and around their Greenwich Village subbasement apartment and on a road trip to Mexico where they eventually parted ways. These portraits are a fascinating glimpse into Fink's early photography and typify the end of an iconic era.
Francesca Woodman: Works from the Sammlung Verbund
Edited and with text by Gabriele Schor & Elisabeth Bronfen
$65 — Purchase Book
Despite the tragic brevity of her photograph career, Francesca Woodman's evocative portraits have left a indelible impression on the photography world. Works from the Sammlung Verbund is the most comprehensive monograph of Woodman's work to date featuring 80 photographs and 20 previously unpublished works and also includes several firsts in the presentation of Woodman and her work: this is the first book to reproduce her photographs at their original sizes and represent her odd way of placing the photograph on the paper, and is also the first to give a detailed, illustrated biography of her life.
Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
Illustrated by Maggie Taylor
$80 — Purchase Book
Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is a complete reproduction of the original text illustrated by 40 of Maggie Taylor's photomontages.
