New title all the way from the USA: World in Vogue

Now, we all know that Vogue books are great, but this new one (especially over from the USA, so you won't find it everywhere) is really gorgeous!
This one-of-a-kind book of 300 photographs has literally everyone you would probably invite to the perfect party, from the most celebrated actors, artists and models to First Ladies, and social figures, drawing on stories that have appeared in the pages of Vogue over the past four decades, as well as photographs from those stories that have never been published.
These trendsetters and newsmakers are captured by our favourite photographers(again, all the best names!) Cecil Beaton, Jonathan Becker, Eric Boman, Horst P. Horst, Edward Steichen, Irving Penn, Richard Avedon, François Halard, Helmut Newton, Stephen Meisel, Snowdon, Toni Frissell, Bruce Weber, Herb Ritts, and Annie Leibovitz. Not only did these photographers take dazzling portraits—in studios or on location—that caught these iconic figures in classic, playful, or dramatic moments but they also documented their parties, such as Capote's Black and White Ball at the Plaza, the glamorous wedding of Plum Sykes in Yorkshire and the gardens of Valentino’s seventeenth-century Château de Wideville, outside Paris.

New Photography Books

We have a fantastic range of photography titles in stock at the moment. Not only are we hosting the launch of Lewis Blackwell's stunning new book The Life and Love of Trees on the 19th of November, we also have an excellent selection of out-of-print photography books in stock. My current favourite is this one, Nothing Personal. A collaboration between Richard Avedon and James Baldwin, it offers not only a stunning collection of photographs but also a brilliant piece of writing from one of the twentieth-century's greats.

Fornasetti: La Bottega Fantastica and L'Artista Alchemista

Just arrived in stock, this incredible two-volume account of Fornasetti's life and practice is my dream Christmas present. From tea-cups to thimbles and hat stands to textiles, its 3000 luscious pictures provide at once a kind of artist's journal and a rich archive of the fantastic and the sublime.
