As New/No Jacket - As Issued. 96pp, profusely illustrated in color and b&w. "In her most recent body of work, acclaimed photographer Susan Meiselas pieces together verbal and visual traces of encounters with the Dani - an indigenous people of the West Papuan highlands of New Guinea from the nearly six decades since their "discovery" by the West. In this subjective, fragmentary history, Meiselas draws from the experiences of missionaries, colonists, anthropologists and modern-day ecotourists, all of whom have come to the Dani's Baliem Valley and transformed the conditions under which they live. The ambiguous relations between power and representation - whether in the form of Dutch colonial patrol notes from the 1930s, the sensationalized media accounts of the survivors of a downed U.S. army plane in "Shangri-La" from the 1940s or a tourist’s snapshots from the 1990s - become visible in Meiselas's book, through both the contradictions and unexpected continuities of the gathered materials". Published in conjunction with the 2003 exhibition "Strangers: The First ICP Triennial of Photography and Video", this is a beautifully produced collage-like companion to the photographer's 1997 work; "Kurdistan: In the Shadow of History".

The dust jacket also shows some attendant discoloration and dampstaining along the top edge of the rear panel as well as a short closed tear at the upper foredge corner on the front.

"For the last few years, when Martin Parr has traveled on assignment he has had his picture taken by a local studio photographer, or street photographer, or in a photo booth. The result is a wonderfully varied portfolio of portraits ranging from elaborate studio sets reminiscent of the heyday of the Victorian studio photographer, through to digitally manipulated images of Parr as Mr. Universe, and images which have been horrendously re-touched in the studio's efforts to flatter Parr and make him appear twenty years younger. As with all Parr's projects the book is not only hilarious but also raises broader issues of identity and self, questioning the whole notion of the photographic portrait".

As New.. np (88pp), 80 color illustrations.

And that’s what photography does very well". A brand new, most handsome example of the 2006 Chris Boot Ltd. British first edition (cited on page 249 of Fred Ritchin and Carole Naggar's "Magnum Photobook: A Catalogue Raisonné") additionally BOLDLY SIGNED AND DATED "Martin Parr / 2006" in the year of publication in blue ink on the half title page. 0-9546894-8-8 Inventory Number: 012420

As New/No Jacket - As Issued. np (168pp) + np (14pp), 98 illustrations in color and b&w. Designed by Christian Patterson. "Redheaded Peckerwood is a work with a tragic underlying narrative - the story of nineteen year old Charles Starkweather and fourteen year old Caril Ann Fugate who murdered ten people, including Fugate's family, during a three day killing spree across Nebraska to the point of their capture in Douglas, Wyoming. From a technical perspective, the photographs incorporate and reference the techniques of photojournalism, forensic photography, image appropriation, reenactment and documentary landscape photography. On a conceptual level, they deal with a charged landscape and play with a photographic representation and truth as the work deconstructs a pre-existing narrative. "Redheaded Peckerwood" also utilizes and plays with a pre-existing archive of material, deliberately mixing fact and fiction, past and present, myth and reality as it presents, expands and re-presents the various facts and theories surrounding this story. While photographs are the heart of this work, they are the complemented and informed by documents and objects that belonged to the killers and their victims - including a map, poem, confession letter, stuffed animal, hood ornament and various other items. In several cases, these materials are discoveries first made by the artist and presented here for the first time. The images record places and things central to the story, depict ideas inspired by it, and capture other moments and discoveries along the way". The Starkweather and Fugate killings inspired the films "The Sadist (1963)", "Badlands (1973)", "Murder in the Heartland (2003)", "Kalifornia (1993)", "Natural Born Killers (1994)", and "Starkweather (2004)".
