My friend Roy Hammans just alerted me to a relatively new small photographic book publisher Errata Editions who is re-publishing of some interesting photographic titles. The embarrassing part of all of this is that one of the founders of Errata Editions is Jeffery Ladd, who publishes 5B4 and was recently blogging from China during the press run who I have...

I have been adding a couple of more catagories to the side bar over the last couple of days, thinking that these links could be useful for those interested in the photographic book community, whether collecting or developing a book project. I had deceided to add Radius Books to the book Publishers and while Googling... Continue Reading →
"cour 7 rue de Valencia", 1922, Eugene Atget, courtesy of MOMA I had published an earlier article in Singular Images about my continuing interest in Eugene Atget's photographic urban landscapes. I subsequently purchased the hardcover book Atget by the late John Szarkowski published by MOMA as a first edition in 2000. All I can say is that this is a wonderful book for... Continue Reading →

A thoughtful & recommended read for those who are wrestling with the process of editing one's larger body of work into something meaningful.... Continue Reading →
Jorg Colberg recently wrote (here) about Gregory Crewdson's book, Beneath the Roses over on his blog Conscientious. I believe that Jorg is a bigger fan of Crewdson that I am, but I feel that Jorg gets the uneasy undercurrent I feel with Crewdson's work, and Beneath the Roses in particular. Best regards, Doug Stockdale
Book review by Douglas Stockdale • After purchasing Robert Frank's PARIS, published by Steidl in 2008, I have been hesitating to publish my book review. Part of my procrastination was purchasing a copy of Frank's The Americans, published by Steidl as part of their "Robert Frank Project", as a baseline for comparison. I am happy that I did buy...

(Originally posted in Singular Images, 10/01/07) I am starting to come to the realization that I am going to be making my first limited edition book in conjunction with someone from The Photophers Exchange, who is a custom box binder. I have been reading with great interest the series of articles in Photo-eye Review about book publishing. Especially... Continue Reading →
The Americans - copyright of Robert Frank published by Steidl, 2008 special edition How one thing sometimes leads to another, as I had recently purchased a new Robert Frank book Paris while I was in Philadelphia and I figured it would be easy to relate Paris to The Americans without owning a copy of The Americans....

The (softcover & hardcover) book, Octave of Prayer, Edited by Minor White and published by Aperture books (1972), was a distillation of Whites thoughts on how a photograph could have meaning beyond the image on the paper. And in true White fashion, he has included only one of his own photographs in the book, but probably most... Continue Reading →
