Fine/No Jacket - As Issued. 242pp, profusely illustrated in color and duotone. Text in English. "Jacky Ickx has been to the front and back. Miraculously, he survived a period in which death lurked behind every corner, like when his Ferrari caught fire in 1970 during a race in Jarama. Jacky Ickx's career is one of the richest in the history of racing: two-time vice-world champion Formula 1, winner of eight grands prix, six-time winner of the 24 hours of Le Mans, two-time world endurance champion with victories in the Paris-Dakar Rally and the American Can Am-championship. This book presents the twenty-four defining moments of Ickx' career, illustrated with exclusive photography from the best archives and photo collections in the world". Long retired, Jacky Ickx is widely regarded as the greatest Belgian F1 and sports car driver of the twentieth century, and this lavish book - which includes his own introduction along with a foreword by legendary Belgian cycling champion Eddie Merckx - authored by noted motorsports journalist Pierre Van Vliet is a fitting tribute.

This is the beautifully produced, oversized hardbound catalogue published in conjunction with the 2004 Reina Sofia Madrid exhibition of works from the extraordinary contemporary art holdings amassed over the previous two decades by legendary publisher Benedikt Taschen. "Benedikt Taschen began seriously building his personal collection in 1985, through his involvement in the contemporary art world. It is limited to a small number of artists by whom he owns a great number of pieces. This concentration both traces the development of the work of a few over time and allows us to explore their scope and vision in greater depth. Among the best-represented artists of the collection are Germans Albert Oehlen and Martin Kippenberger (with more than a hundred works each), and the American artists Jeff Koons and Mike Kelley. Additionally, Taschen owns many quality pieces representing key artists from the generation that emerged in the 1980s and is still active today. Among them: Thomas Struth, Gunther Forg, Cindy Sherman, Christopher Wool, Darren Almond, Werner Buttner, Andre Butzer, and Wolfgang Tillmans, not to forget photography doyens Julius Shulman and Helmut Newton, and Elmer Batters and Eric Stanton.

As New.. np, profusely illustrated in color and b&w. Designed by Susan Barber. "North Drive Press" was founded by Matt Keegan and Lizzy Lee in 2003. The name refers to the street connecting the parallel blocks on which Matt and Lizzy - childhood friends - lived as adolescents. The impetus for the creation of NDP, as it is affectionately known, was to produce a mobile group exhibition. Beginning with issue #3, Sara Greenberger Rafferty (also an artist committed to collaboration and artist-produced publications) joined North Drive Press as co-editor of the project. Tokion said "It's a magazine but it comes in a box. No, not a magazine in a box, but a bunch of stuff in a box that's a magazine. Which turns out to have some distinct advantages over old-fashion printed-and-bound publications, such as the happy inclusion of posters, matches, original photos, stickers, cards, CDs, 7"s, booklets and even a sew-on patch". The New York Times said "The multiples are a delight, the interviews a gold mine." Limited to one thousand copies, this fourth annual edition features interviews and texts by Becca Albee and Kathleen Hanna, Fia Backstrom and Wade Guyton, Jennifer Bornstein and Jonathan Horowitz, Sarah Charlesworth and Sara VanDerBeek, Ken Gonzales-Day and Edgar Arceneaux, Alice Konitz and Michael Ned Holte, Eileen Quinlan and Liz Deschenes, Frances Stark and Amy Yao, Erika Vogt and Nancy de Holl, Matias Faldbakken, Kristina Kite, Andrew Lampert, Rose Oluronke Ojo, and Kevin Zucker.
