Welcome to our 40th and mid-summer Issue •
We have an extensive list of photobook reviews that we published in July to help you with your summer reading. This will help us coast through the month of August while we will be on holidays for much of this month as well. All in preparation for the Fall 2022 book launch, which we hope will not be as chaotic as last year due to all of the logistical issues that were created by the pandemic.
A personal note: a wonderful thank you to all of those who pre-ordered my artists book, The Flow of Light Brushes the Shadow. As a result, I have heard many touching stories regarding dealing with anxiety and underlying issues created by travel. You can still order this directly from me now at its regular price. Big news: my Artist Special Edition (book + extra print) for this artist book has Sold Out, including pre-orders by San Telmo Museo (Spain) and the Frick Fine Arts Library (University of Pittsburgh).
Cheers and wishing you a wonderful summer holiday
