Tony Ward: Tableaux Vivants
, Edition Stemmle, 2002 Hardcover, 128 pages, ENG, 360 x 245 x 20 mm, as New !, dustjacket, photographs in b/w and full-page, . ISBN 9783908163541.
In Tableaux Vivants, this genre master takes us through an elaborate series of conceptual and imaginative mise en scene, drawing the viewer into a fantasy-meets-reality dreamworld of theatrical environments where the perception of taboo is turned on its head. In his foreword, Rick Wester writes: "Tony Ward's photographs are nearly apolitical, but thrive on liberty. In a world seemingly overobsessed with sex, Ward's imagery is a dream pool, reflecting not only the deep-seated fantasies of the auteur but also the narcissistic and mischievous wanderings of his players." Witty, ironic, irreverent, sly or outrageous, these grandly staged, surreal settings are luxuriantly indulgent scenes of erotica. With his playfully daring and cleverly satirical nods to social, religious, cultural, and historical ideas and icons, Ward has created a boldly fabulous montage of erotic tableaux.

, De vries, Antwerpen, 2005, softcover 145 x 225mm., 319pp., z/w illustratie. ISBN 9789053416624.
Bij zijn zoektocht door het land van Abrahma Hans, stootte John Rijpens op de sporen van een andere familie, de familie Ivanov. Anders dan bij de familie Hans hing er een waas van geheimzinnigheid rond de Ivanovs.Ten eerste gingen zij onder een valse naam door het leven, ten tweede was het hoofd van de clan een vrouw: Sacha Ivanov. Rijpens licht de sluier waarachter een Gentse familie zich jarenlang verborg, langzaam op. Wie was Sacha Ivanov? Wie was de schrijver van 'Cowboy met de witte handschoenen', 'Het meisje met de robijnen', 'Het zilveren beest', 'Kolko en Solko: de lotgevallen van twee jongens onder de rode terreur', 'De misdaad van een moeder'? Als nieuw, een pracht van een naslagwerk!
Pilgrim Route to Santiago
, Phaidon, 1987 Hardcover, 159 pages, ENG, 290 x 250 x 20 mm; dustjacket, in very good condition, illustrations in colour / b/w. ISBN 9780714824253.
When St James the Great was beheaded in Jerusalem in AD 61, he became the first apostle to be martyred for his faith. According to legend, his disciples brought the body in a miraculous stone boat to north-western Spain, where they buried it in a place now known as Santiago de Compostela. Following a claim in the early ninth century that the tomb had been rediscovered, people began flocking to the site to venerate the relics. Santiago became, after Rome and Jerusalem, the most important place of pilgrimage in medieval Christendom. Pilgrims from all over Europe broke away from their daily routine and set off along the 'Way of St James' through France and Spain to the remote town of Santiago. They travelled from hostel to hostel, visiting the churches and other holy places which lay on the route. Over the centuries a 'cultural highway' evolved, which has left an indelible mark on the artistic, religious and social map of Europe. In 1984, Brian Tate, Emeritus Professor of Spanish at the University of Nottingham, retraced the ancient journey of the pilgrims, accompanied by his son Marcus and the photographer Pablo Keller. The result is a remarkable visual record of some of the most beautiful landscapes in southern Europe and architectural treasures dating from the Romanesque to the present day. To complement Pablo Keller's photographs, Brian and Marcus Tate have written a book that explains the pilgrimage phenomenon and the history of the shrine, as well as providing a companion to the journey itself. Five maps show the route in detail. Modern travellers, whether from the comfort of an armchair or in the footsteps of the original pilgrims, can re-create for themselves this great spiritual adventure of the medieval world. -- Inside jacket flap.

JOHN GALLIANO Unseen
, Thames and Hudson , 2017 Hardcover, 352 pages, ENG, 340 x 250 mm, NEW, more than 330 coloured illustrations. ISBN 9780500519516.
Now creative director of Maison Margiela, John Galliano started his career in London in the late 1980s, straight after graduating from Central Saint Martins. After being appointed head designer of Christian Dior in 1996, Galliano continued to create two collections a year for his namesake brand. They acted in many ways as a laboratory of ideas, allowing him to let his imagination run wild, free from both the commercial pressures associated with a house as iconic and as global as Dior and the influence of the hallowed house's iconic pieces - a pure expression of his personal design style. Opening with an essay on the designer's work, John Galliano: Unseen unfolds chronologically. Thirty collections are included, each introduced by a short text by Claire Wilcox, revisiting the designer's most iconic creations and revealing previously unseen behind-the-scenes moments that capture models, hairdressers, stylists, makeup artists and John Galliano himself at their most creative. Robert Fairer's stunning and high-energy photographs capture the glamour and frenzy that defined Galliano's shows. A treasure-trove of inspiration, they make this publication a must-have reference for fashion and photography lovers alike
MARC JACOBS : Unseen
, Thames and Hudson , 2018 Hardcover, 352 pages, ENG, 340 x 250 mm, NEW edition, over 280 coloured illustrations. ISBN 9780500021606.
Entering fashion history in 1993 with his notorious 'grunge' collection for Perry Ellis, Marc Jacobs would soon be hailed by American Vogue as 'the dauphin of grungy, understated cool'. He quickly rose to become one of the most influential designers of his generation, both at the helm of his own label and as creative director of Louis Vuitton from 1998 to 2014. Known for his collaborations with prominent artists, musicians and muses - from Stephen Sprouse to Sonic Youth, Debbie Harry, Sofia Coppola and Chlo Sevigny, Marc Jacobs 'changed what it means to be a fashion designer, just as once upon a time Andy Warhol changed what it meant to be an artist', according to fashion historian Valerie Steele. Opening with an essay on the designer's work, Marc Jacobs: Unseen unfolds chronologically, revisiting the designer's most iconic creations and revealing previously unseen behind-the-scenes moments of models, hairdressers, stylists, make-up artists and Marc Jacobs himself at their most creative. Robert Fairer's stunning and highenergy photographs capture the youth, glamour and spirit that defined Jacobs's shows

Hotel Gems of France : Places not only to see but also to stay....
, Heath Bell, 1995 Hardcover, 195 pages, ENG, 330 x 245 x 22 mm, dustjacket, book is in very good condition, illustrated in coloured photographs, . ISBN 9789075658019.
"Hotel Gems of France" is the first in a series of books profiling what one might consider to be the world's dream vacation hotels. To me, it's a perfect scaled-down blend between the "Resorts & Great Hotels" and "Architectural Digest" magazines. There are 34 "gems" in this book, each portrayed in four to eight pages of text and gorgeous photographs. The back of the book contains an excellent section of factual information (e.g., rooms, facilities, activities, location), plus a map of France pinpointing the location of each hotel. I wouldn't necessarily use this book as a travel planning tool unless I had lots of time and was expecting to cover lots of territory. There are probably more than 34 hotels just in the Latin Quarter of Paris, so taking this number within all of France doesn't make for useful comparisons. Also, there are no rate listings for any of the hotels, but I'd guess that the term "upscale" would fairly describe the price, as it surely does the quality of the properties. Still, for those who enjoy superb photography, or who wish to get an introduction to France's beauty, or who might REALLY go on a dream vacation, this is a wonderful book. If I were rating this with my heart and eyes only, it would be 5 stars.
