 This is Magnum photographer Alex Webb's seventh book. Webb began photographing Istanbul in 1998, and became instantly enthralled: by the people, the layers of culture and history, the richness of street life. But what particularly drew him in was a sense of Istanbul as a border city, lying between Europe and Asia. "For 30-some years as a photographer, I have been intrigued by borders, places where cultures come together, sometimes easily, sometimes roughly." The resulting body of work, some of Webb's strongest to date, conveys the frisson of a culture in transition, yet firmly rooted in a complex history.
With essay by the Nobel Prize winning novelist, Orhan Pamuk.
Published in 2007 by Aperture. Hardcover; 136 pages. These copies are SIGNED.

 Carnival Strippers, by Susan Meiselas, Sylvia Wolf and Deirdre English.
From 1972 to 1975, Susan Meiselas spent her summers photographing and interviewing women who performed striptease for small town carnivals in New England, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina. As she followed the girl shows from town to town, she portrayed the dancers on stage and off, photographing their public performances as well as their private lives. She also taped interviews with the dancers, their boyfriends, the show managers, and paying customers. Meiselas' frank description of the lives of these women brought a hidden world to public attention. Produced during the early years of the women's movement Carnival Strippers reflects the struggle for identity and self-esteem that characterized a complex era of change.
This is the beautifully produced new edition of Susan Meiselas' landmark first book from 1976 which now includes additional photographs along with an audio CD with a collage of voices from it many participants and a 1977 interview with the photographer.

 Sahel: The End of the Road, by Sebastião Salgado, is one of the most important and most haunting bodies of his work. Fotovision is offering hardbound, signed books as a part of the Print Collectors' Program. As Salgado does not schedule many book signings, signed copies will be hard to find.
This early work became a template for his future photographic projects about other afflicted people around the world. Working with the humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders, Salgado documented the enormous suffering and the great dignity of the refugees in the Sahel region of Africa (Chad, Ethiopia, Mali, and the Sudan), where approximately one million people died from extreme malnutrition and related causes. With supporting narratives by Orville Schell, Fred Ritchin, and Eduardo Galeano, this first U.S. edition brings this landmark body of work to an American audience for the first time. Twenty years after the photographs were taken, Sahel: The End of the Road is still relevant. This book is part of the Series in Contemporary Photography, published jointly in 2004 by the UC Press and the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism.

 Under Fire, by Catherine Leroy and foreword by John McCain.
Signed by both Catherine Leroy and Don McCullin. Hardbound copies are available. Catherine Leroy pairs her work and that of other acclaimed photographers-–among them Larry Burrows, Henri Huet, and Don McCullin–with moving, evocative essays from an equally stellar roster of writers, including David Halberstam, Philip Caputo, Neil Sheehan, and Tim O’Brien. Some of the photographs are well known, verging on the iconic, others are less well circulated but no less evocative. All make indelible impressions on the viewer–perhaps more so now than when they were taken, thirty to fifty years ago. Published to coincide with the thirtieth anniversary of the fall of Saigon, Under Fire is a potent, often poignant reminder of the men and women whose work helped forge the collective memory of a generation.
Catherine Leroy was twenty-one years old when she set out from her native France to Vietnam in 1966. In less than two years, her intrepid reporting made her one of the war’s most published photographers. In 1967, she became the only journalist to partake in a combat jump. Later she was wounded with a marine unit in the DMZ. Leroy was captured by the North Vietnamese Army during the Tet offensive but managed to talk her way free. Leroy has won numerous photography prizes for her work in Vietnam and elsewhere, including the Robert Capa Award, of which she was the first female recipient, and the George Polk Award.
Published in 2005 by Random House; 192 pages. These copies are signed by both Catherine Leroy and Don McCullin.

 RFK Funeral Train, by Paul Fusco. Tribute by Senator Edward Kennedy; essays by Norman Mailer and Evan Thomas.
Robert F. Kennedy’s raw empathy, his determination to make Americans’ lives better, and his insistence that government is answerable to all, black and white, rich and poor, was honored on June 8, 1968, as hundreds of thousands of people stood patiently in the searing heat to watch his funeral train travel slowly from New York to Washington, D.C., just as Abraham Lincoln’s had, 103 years before. Magnum photographer, Paul Fusco, photographed the silent, mourning crowds from the passing train. The result, brought to light over thirty-years later, is a moving snapshot of America at a crucial moment of trauma and transition.
Published in 2001 by Umbrage Editions; 128 pages, 11.0 x 7.0 x 0.2 inches. These copies are signed.
