A new range of small, but well printed, books of photography have appeared. They are called '55s' because they each feature 55 pictures with extended captions. There are 20 titles in the first bunch: Eugene Atget Mathew Brady Wynn Bullock Julia Margaret Cameron Joan Fontcuberta David Goldblatt Nan Goldin Graciela Iturbide Andre Kertesz Dorothea Lange Mary Ellen Mark Joel Meyerowitz Boris Mikhailov Lisette Model Laszlo Moholy-Nage Eadweard Muybridge Eugene Richards W Eugene Smith Shomei Tomatsu Joel-Peter Witkin There seems to be a good proportion of women, and 15% are guys called Eugene. Be careful with that axe Eugene. A lot more are promised. 23.74% will be women called Eugenie. Careless Eugene! Each costs UKP 4.95, USD 7.95, CND 11.95 etc. I am not at all connected with the publishers or any bookshop - I just think that this seems like a worthy attempt to publish interesting stuff to a wide readership.
