I have eight Eve Arnold books, despite not being a huge fan. Flashback not pictured. I also ended up with four Jane Bown books. Time for some culling.

Funny thing is he signed so many things right at the end of his life at the peak of his popularity its still very affordable (100 bucks?) to get a signed book if one desires, but always fun to find a bargain.

One of my favorite photographers from Japan, and a very good book you can find for less than $20 in Japan.

From the net :

Captured during a months stay in the city of Manila, Philippines in August 1983, Jun Abe’s _Manila _is a culmination of his photographed experiences and encounters during his time spent in the country. Bound within the pages of this publication is an array of individuals and instances which string together the wanderings and explorations of Abe from the bustling city streets of Manila into a Medium Security Prison. What is present within the each pageis not only a document of the time and place captured within the images themselves but within the photographs lies a multitude of layers and meaning within each of the frames. This is a narrative which speaks both of the city and its individuals encountered by Abe, presenting an interconnectedness in-between cities and its landscapes, separate through the boundaries of geography yet temporarily connected through the frame of Abe’s images.

I saw a post about this book a while back, as I'm a sucker for this kind of books (period, b/w), I started looking. And lo and behold, I found a used copy for 26usd (incl. shipping) - I think I was (very) lucky.

Recently went to an estate sale of a retired university photo professor and found these books, some in better conditions than others. Was most excited about the Richard Avedon book but was pleasantly surprised with the rest. I hadn’t looked at Meatyards work much before this but came away a fan!
