Publisher's Synopsis
This collection of pocket-sized books brings together radical ideas and bold design – affordable, sharply focused books with a clear perspective on the world.
Franz Höllering, editor of the influential workers' paper Arbeiter Illustrierte Zeitung, once advised photographers: 'Focus on the simple key facts.' This photographic essay takes that advice to heart. Through carefully composed images, it explores an unexpected aspect of high street fashion – the widespread use of books as a tool to enhance sales and perceived value.
Accompanied by Höllering’s sharp, succinct text, this book serves as both a visual study and a call to action for contemporary photographers.
