First Edition. Square 4to. Illustrated Boards in Jacket. Photography Monograph. As New/As New. 180pp, profusely illustrated in b&w and duotone. Designed by Tom Adler. "Ron Church brought a trained photographerÆs eye to the sport of surfing, which in itself was unusual. With his background in sport diving and underwater research photography combined with his La Jolla, California roots, he turned his attention to surfing just as the sport was beginning to morph from a sleepy but evocative pastime into a commercialized lifestyle. From 1960 through 1965 he captured its last moments of innocence, first in California, moving to OahuÆs big-wave fields, and then back to California. Graphic designer/publisher Tom Adler has been producing an acclaimed series of art books featuring surf photography utilizing his own unique design sense to select offbeat images that seem to make magic by the time he arranges them on the pages".

"As a teenager taking pictures of fellow surfers in 1960s La Jolla, Jeff Divine got to know the original alternative sport before the X-Games were even a gleam in a producer's eye. Through this rare collection of photographs from the momentous decade that followed, he conveys the feeling of being on the beach in its most creative era, being present at the inception of a subculture too large and photogenic to stay down long. The style, the athleticism and the escapism in these images will be familiar to those with even a lazy eye on pop culture: surfing is on the rise again".

With the 2002 passing of Miki "Da Cat" Dora, the surfing world lost one of its most talented, charismatic, and controversial innovators.

Initiated by Miki Dora himself, this loving tribute to the legendary enigma by noted designer/art director/publisher/surfing aficionado Tom Adler is very much in the same vein as Adler's previous deluxe editions on Don James and Tom Blake. It reproduces vintage images and screen captures of Dora by Joe Quigg, Leroy Grannis, Grant Rohloff, Don James, Pat Darrin, Peter Gowland and many others along with biographical texts by Drew Kampion, Craig Stecyk III & Steve Pezman; transcribed interviews, ramblings, and reprinted writings from "Surfer" magazine (including the full "Million Days to Darkness" from 1989!) in an elegantly produced package that was authorized by Miki's family and estate.

(GRANNIS, LEROY). Grannis, Leroy, Jim Heimann & Steve Barilotti. LEROY GRANNIS: SURF PHOTOGRAPHY OF THE 1960S AND 1970S - DELUXE SIGNED, LIMITED COLLECTOR'S EDITION. Signed and Numbered By the Photographer. Koln, GERMANY: Benedikt Taschen Verlag, 2006. First Edition 1/1000 Deluxe. Oblong Folio. Cloth in Dust Jacket, Boxed. Photography Monograph. As New/As New. 278pp, profusely illustrated in color and b&w. Text in English, German and French. Limited to one thousand copies only, this signed and numbered first edition of Taschen's amazing Leroy Grannis tome is more than likely the most lavish surf photography book produced to date. "This collection, drawn from Grannis's personal archives, showcases an impressive selection of surf photographs-from the bliss of catching the perfect wave at San Onofre to dramatic wipeouts at Oahu's famed North Shore. An innovator in the field, Grannis suction-cupped a waterproof box to his board, enabling him to change film in the water and stay closer to the action than other photographers of the time. Equally notable is his work covering an emerging surf lifestyle, from surfer stomps and hoards of fans at surf contests to board-laden woody station wagons along the Pacific Coast Highway. It is in these iconic images that a sport still in its adolescence embodied the free-spirited nature of an era-a time before shortboards and celebrity endorsements, when surfing was at its bronzed best". Sold out long before publication, it lovingly reveals the kinder and gentler California surf scene of over a quarter century ago in hundreds of vintage images taken by one of the pioneers of the field. Mickey Dora, Greg Noll, Dewey Weber - they're all here! A pristine copy NUMBERED AND SIGNED by Leroy Grannis still shrinkwrapped in the publisher's printed shipping carton, as issued.

(DORA, MIKI "MICKEY"). Kampion, Drew & Craig Stecyk III. Foreword By Steve Pezman. Tom Adler, Editor. DORA LIVES: THE AUTHORIZED STORY OF MIKI DORA. Santa Barbara, CA: T. Adler Books, 2005. First Edition. Small Oblong 4to. 1/4 Cloth Over Boards. Photography Monograph. As New/No Jacket - As Issued. 137pp, profusely illustrated in color and b&w. Designed by Tom Adler. With the 2002 passing of Miki "Da Cat" Dora, the surfing world lost one of its most talented, charismatic, and controversial innovators. A legend of Malibu lore since the late '50s, Dora helped to create and simultaneously revile the "Gidget"/"Beach Party" California surfing explosion of the '60s, then turned his back to the 'Bu and the world of competitive wave riding to travel the world, often just a step or two ahead of law. Initiated by Miki Dora himself, this loving tribute to the legendary enigma by noted designer/art director/publisher/surfing aficionado Tom Adler is very much in the same vein as Adler's previous deluxe editions on Don James and Tom Blake. It reproduces vintage images and screen captures of Dora by Joe Quigg, Leroy Grannis, Grant Rohloff, Don James, Pat Darrin, Peter Gowland and many others along with biographical texts by Drew Kampion, Craig Stecyk III & Steve Pezman; transcribed interviews, ramblings, and reprinted writings from "Surfer" magazine (including the full "Million Days to Darkness" from 1989!) in an elegantly produced package that was authorized by Miki's family and estate.

(GRANNIS, LEROY). Grannis, Leroy, Jim Heimann & Steve Barilotti. LEROY GRANNIS: SURF PHOTOGRAPHY OF THE 1960S AND 1970S - DELUXE SIGNED, LIMITED COLLECTOR'S EDITION. Signed and Numbered By the Photographer. Koln, GERMANY: Benedikt Taschen Verlag, 2006. First Edition 1/1000 Deluxe. Oblong Folio. Cloth in Dust Jacket, Boxed. Photography Monograph. As New/As New. 278pp, profusely illustrated in color and b&w. Text in English, German and French. Limited to one thousand copies only, this signed and numbered first edition of Taschen's amazing Leroy Grannis tome is more than likely the most lavish surf photography book produced to date. "This collection, drawn from Grannis's personal archives, showcases an impressive selection of surf photographs-from the bliss of catching the perfect wave at San Onofre to dramatic wipeouts at Oahu's famed North Shore. An innovator in the field, Grannis suction-cupped a waterproof box to his board, enabling him to change film in the water and stay closer to the action than other photographers of the time. Equally notable is his work covering an emerging surf lifestyle, from surfer stomps and hoards of fans at surf contests to board-laden woody station wagons along the Pacific Coast Highway. It is in these iconic images that a sport still in its adolescence embodied the free-spirited nature of an era-a time before shortboards and celebrity endorsements, when surfing was at its bronzed best". Sold out long before publication, it lovingly reveals the kinder and gentler California surf scene of over a quarter century ago in hundreds of vintage images taken by one of the pioneers of the field. Mickey Dora, Greg Noll, Dewey Weber - they're all here! A pristine copy NUMBERED AND SIGNED by Leroy Grannis still shrinkwrapped in the publisher's printed shipping carton, as issued.
