Larry "Flame" Moore, SURFING Magazine's photo editor and driving force since the early seventies added red-hot color to its watery world. And thanks to the insightful, well-researched storytelling of author Nick Carroll, we now get to read all about the man behind the photo credit.

"This collection, drawn from Grannis' 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". One of the greatest surfing photography produced to date, this 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.

This is a copy of the prototype/prospectus issue of "Omnivore", a proposed semi-annual journal on writing and the arts edited by esteemed "The New Yorker" and "McSweeney's" contributor Lawrence Weschler. Published by The New York Institute for the Humanities at New York University, it was produced to give an idea of what sort of editorial content the first few issues would entail (this has no advertising whatsoever) in order to help secure financial contributions that would facilitate its actual publication. Sadly, as of summer 2005 that has not happened, and this remains the only issue of Omnivore to date. Both its design & printing are impeccable, and the spectacular list of contributors here includes Michael Benson, Breyten Breytenbach, Peter Buchanan-Smith, Rachel Cohen, Diane Cook & Len Jenshel, Kris Cox, Tara Donovan, Tom Eisner, William Finnegan, Ian Frazier, Kathy Grove, David Hockney, Anne Hollander, Siri Hustvedt, Ricky Jay, Jamaica Kincaid, Ryszard Kapuscinski, Curzio Malaparte, Joel Meyerowitz, Errol Morris, Walter Murch, Todd Newberry, Carlos Nine, Noelle Oxenhandler, Rosamond Purcell, Alastair Reid, Oliver Sacks, Mark Salzman, Victor Schrager, Rebecca Solnit, Gregory Whitehead, Lawrence Weschler himself and many others. A presentable copy at best of this thought provoking journal that was issued hors commerce only and never available for purchase showing some pronounced rippling to the textblock and covers as well as some dampstaining along the foredge of a few pages due to contact with moisture along with some sunning to the front cover.

Fine. 160pp, profusely illustrated in color and b&w. Text in English. Designed by Ward Heirwegh and Inge Ketelers. "Californian artist Ed Templeton delivers up his diagnosis of the contemporary human condition in a whirlwind of present-tense imagery filtered through photographs, paintings and drawings. Over the past decade and a half, Templeton has built an oeuvre that closely tracks his day-to-day reality, recording life in the Southern Californian suburbs, his flawed family background, his life as a professional skateboarder, his milieu, the relationship between the artist and his muse (his wife Deanna) and much else. What begins as a very personal chronicle ultimately opens out onto grander horizons - in Templeton's case, a broad meditation on the chaos and the joy of being human. Presented as a mid-career retrospective accompanying a spring 2010 exhibition at the Stedelijk Museum voor Actuele Kunst in Ghent, Belgium, "The Cemetery of Reason" is the first large monographic museum publication devoted to Templeton's work. It combines and juxtaposes works in various media from the past fifteen years with new works and series, all reproduced in two hundred and sixty color images, thus providing the most comprehensive overview of Templeton's work available".

Van Hamersveld, John. Dave Clucas, Editor. JOHN VAN HAMERSVELD: MY ART, MY LIFE - SIGNED WITH A DRAWING. Signed by the Author with a Drawing. South Bend, IN: St. Augustine's Press, 2010. First Edition. 8vo. Illustrated Wrappers. Artist Autobiography. As New. 234pp, illustrated in b&w and color. Artist turned Art Director John Van Hamersveld is responsible for some of the most iconic graphic images to emerge from California in the sixties and seventies. Raised in the surfing community of Palos Verdes, his teenage adventures with Mickey Dora, Dale Velzy, John Severson and childhood pal Rick Griffin led to his becoming the graphic designer for "Surfer" and "Surf Guide" Magazines at the height of the "Gidget" and Beach Party craze. In 1964 he created the timeless Day-Glo one-sheet for Bruce Brown's genre-defining film "The Endless Summer". After a stint at the famed Chouinard Art Institute, Van Hamersveld went on to design the Pinnacle Concerts posters for Jimi Hendrix, Cream, The Velvet Underground, and many others as well as create striking album packaging for The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band, The Beatles' "Magical Mystery Tour", The Jefferson Airplane's "Crown of Creation, Bob Dylan's "Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid", The Grateful Dead's "Skeletons From the Closet", and most notably The Rolling Stones' classic "Exile on Main Street". "My Art / My Life" confidently recounts Van Hamersfeld's autobiographical experiences alongside many of the most interesting Surfing, Art (lots of Andy Warhol anecdotes!), and Rock 'n' Roll personalities of the period - albeit in a sometimes frustratingly disjointed spelling, grammar and continuity be damned manner - and establishes once and for all his place in the pantheon of graphic design history.

As New/As New. 252pp, profusely illustrated in color and b&w. "Dale Velzy's is a story set in a time and place where a combination of climate, geography, local aerospace industry materials and Hollywood's media machine made California and surfing virtually synonymous. Velzy didn't single-handedly invent the surf lifestyle and industry, but his pioneering work as a craftsman, his charismatic personality and his knack for sales and promotions did much to establish it. Known as "Hawk", Velzy cut a colorful figure along the Southern California coast in the late 1950s when he was the world's largest manufacturer of surfboards. With his diamond pinkie ring, big cigars and fast cars, he ran around with the Hollywood crowd and counted movie stars and moguls among his clients and friends. Velzy was the epitome of the maverick extreme board sports entrepreneur, just thirty or forty years ahead of his time". This magnificently compiled hardbound book on pioneer surfer and board manufacturer Dale Velzy is beautifully illustrated with both vintage and contemporary images by the likes of Doc Ball, Art Brewer, Bruce Brown, Bud Browne, Matt Kivlin, Guy Motil, Joe Quigg, and many more.

(Distributed Art Publishers), 4to. Cloth in Dust Jacket. Exhibition Catalog. As New/As New. 288pp, profusely illustrated in color and b&w. Designed by Stephen Kinder Design Partnership. With a biography for each artist. "The greatest cultural accomplishments in history have never been the result of the brainstorms of marketing men, corporate focus groups, or any homogenized methods; they have always happened organically. More often than not, these manifestations have been the result of a few like-minded people coming together to create something new and original for no other purpose than a common love of doing it. In the 1990s, a loose-knit group of American artists and creators, many just out of their teens, began their careers in just such a way. Influenced by the popular underground youth subcultures of the day, such as skateboarding, graffiti, street fashion, and independent music, artists began to create art that reflected the lifestyles they led. Many had no formal training and almost no conception of the inner workings of the art world. They learned their crafts through practice, trial and error, and good old-fashioned innovation. Not since the Beat Generation have we seen a group of creative individuals with such a unified aesthetic sense and varied cultural facets. The world of art has been greatly affected by their accomplishments as have the worlds of fashion, music, literature, film, and, ironically, athletics. Over the years, the group has matured, and many have become more Establishment-oriented; but no matter, their independent spirit has remained steadfast. Beautiful Losers is a retrospective celebration of this spirit, with hundreds of artworks by over two dozen artists." This extraordinary catalogue was published in conjunction with the 2004 touring exhibition "Beautiful Losers", and is a colorful compendium of popular culture related artwork, graphics, and photos. The contributing artists are divided into two historical categories - the "Roots and Influences" who are Jean-Michel Basquiat, Neil Blender, Larry Clark, R. Crumb, Glen E. Friedman, Futura, Keith Haring, Wes Humpston, Ari Marcopoulos, Raymond Pettibon, Brian Schroeder (Pushead), Craig R. Stecyk III, and Andy Warhol; and the "Beautiful Losers", consisting of Thomas Campbell, Cynthia Connolly, Brian Donnelly (KAWS), Cheryl Dunn, Shepard Fairey, Phil Frost, Mark Gonzales, Evan Hecox, Jo Jackson, Todd James, James Jarvis, Andy Jenkins, Chris Johanson, Spike Jonze, Margaret Kilgallen, Harmony Korine, Geoff McFetridge, Barry "Twist "McGee, Ryan McGinley, Ryan McGinniss, Mike Mills, Stephen Powers (ESPO), Terry Richardson, Clare E.
