BESTSELLER --------------------------------------------------------------- Words That Helped Robert Adams This volume is a personal compilation of quotations that have played a vital role in orienting Robert Adams’ life as a photographer. Copied down in private notebooks collected over six decades and now edited for the general reader, this meditative tapestry of words addresses the question: “What are the facts of our situation, and how might we respond?” [Pre-Order Words That Helped or read more]( [View the full list of bestsellers]( PRE-ORDER --------------------------------------------------------------- Living Room Nick Waplington Nick Waplington’s first book, Living Room (Aperture, 1991), was an instant sensation within the photography world and beyond, and remains an important depiction of 1980s working-class Britain. This new edition follows the same sequencing of landscape and portrait images as the original, replacing each of the fifty-nine photographs with an as-yet-unseen work from the Living Room archive, often from the same roll of film as the original image. The result is both familiar and uncanny, a vivid journey back to Thatcher’s Britain and a testament to the decades of art and life that have elapsed between then and now.

More than 50 years later, this expanded edition illuminates Parks’ vision for the book and offers deeper insight into the series contained within.

"While reading The Seraphim I was struck by a sense of contingency and transition. All the life of Jesse Lenz’s family farm is seen in flow. The inevitable future is often foretold, yet the particulars of life in the moment are vividly compelling. Let’s start at the end. The book’s last plate literally depicts the end of a life. Tracks in a few inches of snow tell the story of a small creature and a winged predator meeting in a very brief, one-sided battle. The victor left its feather prints in the snow, fringing a triangular depression where its talons seized the abruptly not-hopping rodent..." — George Slade [Read the full review]( [Order Signed copies of The Seraphim]( ARRIVING SOON --------------------------------------------------------------- Book 12 Lina Scheynius Between 2007 and 2019, Swedish photographer Lina Scheynius organized an intimate archive of her images into 11 self-published books, reissued as a collection by JBE Books.
