Privately published by the photographer in Switzerland in a limited edition of three hundred copies, the photo book "Teenage Styles and Trends 1967-71: A Retrospect" by American diplomat and art collector Burton Yost Berry (1901-1985) drew little attention back in 1972.

In 2020, Grafisches Centrum Cuno in Calbe, Germany digitized the original book, retouched it with an eye for detail, and printed it using latest Ultra HD technology.. This non-family authorized reprint easily surpassed the original of 1972 in terms of its printing quality,and made this overlooked gem available again. The English text remains untouched except for corrections of some smaller typos. The book was printed in a limited edition of five hundred copies with its dust jacket having a poster printed on the inside. A brand new, most handsome example of the now-unavailable 2020 re-publication (whose first edition is cited on page 80 of Martin Parr and Gerry Badger's "The Photobook: A History Volume III") of this quirky, highly sought-after rarity.

16pp + 144pp, 105 five-tone illustrations. Text in English. Designed by Alexey Brodovitch. "Ballet" is renowned late graphic designer Alexey Brodovitch's iconic 1945 book of photographic vignettes capturing eleven performances by The Ballets Russes between 1935 and 1937. Noted for the innovative-at-the-time use of murky shadows and blurred dancers bathed in light, these arresting images of the likes of principals Leonide Massine, Tamara Toumanova, Irina Baronova, and more are accompanied by New York poet and dance critic Edwin Denby's brief but cogent text. On the eve of the eightieth anniversary of the publication of "Ballet", esteemed publisher Little Steidl’s reissue brings Brodovitch’s masterpiece back to life in all its material intensity with an experimental five-tone printing method developed specially for the project. The bespoke technique, which pushes the technical limits of offset-lithography to extremes, was developed and carried out by Nina Holland with the intention of reanimating not only the visual intensity of the 1945 edition, but also the risk and spontaneity of Brodovitch’s experiment. In a separate booklet accompanying the reissue, Holland and co-editor Joshua Chuang deliver a previously unknown story about the 1945 production – drawn from their forensic study of the original edition – that suggests Brodovitch’s artistic achievement should be viewed not just as one of the highlights, but as a singularly radical work in the history of the photographic book and printing. A brand new example of the meticulously recreated 2024 Little Steidl limited edition (whose 1945 first edition is cited on pages 240-241 of Martin Parr and Gerry Badger's "The Photobook: A History Volume I, pages 136-137 of The Hassleblad Center's "The Open Book: A History of the Photographic Book from 1878 to the Present", and pages 110-113 of "The Book of 101 Books") in the publisher's shipping carton.

Fine/Fine. np (196pp), 109 color illustrations. Text in English. "As photographer Jason Fulford recently learned firsthand, mushrooms have a way of growing and spreading wherever they touch ground. It all started when a friend of Fulford's gave him a box, found at a flea market, full of photos of mushrooms - unassuming pictures taken by an unknown but almost certainly amateur photographer - apparently as notes for some mycological studies. Fulford's art photographs are usually of staid, quasi-mute objects: a smashed Dorito chip overrun with ants, two bronzed doorknobs spooning, the blank back of a street sign. Yet these mushroom images got stuck in Fulford's mind, like a bad song sometimes does, and they started to grow in his own work. "The Mushroom Collector" combines some of the original flea market mushroom pictures with his own images and text about the project. It is a compendium of thoughts, observations, and influences both written and visual that helped shape this charming collection of color images". A most handsome example of the 2010 hardbound first edition of this awesome tome (cited on page 306 of Martin Parr and Gerry Badger's "The Photobook: A History Volume III") limited to one thousand unnumbered copies additionally SIGNED "Jason Fulford" in black ink across his circular stamp reading "The Pleasures of Chaos" on the verso of the front pastedown with some ephemera laid in.
