Wayne Miller (illustrator). Colusa: Dark Regions Press:, 2012. First printing, Trade paperback, SIGNED limited, Fine, 165 pp. Cover artwork by: Wayne Miller This edition limited to 125 numbered copies signed by the author. "War can do terrible things to the hearts and minds of even the best of men, but for U.S. Marine Lance Corporal Tyrone Banks the senseless deaths and unnecessary violence in Vietnam have beaten him down and smothered the compassion and good that was once inside of him. Grief stricken and suicidal; the extreme guilt over the awful things he's done pushes the young Marine beyond his breaking point until death feels like his only remaining option. Rather than eating a bullet, Tyrone volunteers for Tunnel Rat duty hoping to finally find release but instead of his carefully planned honorable death, what the Marine finds down in the dark is a backdoor to Purgatory, a secret entrance into the afterlife where he'll get one last chance to right all the terrible wrongs that constantly haunt him. It won't be easy, though. Nothing worthwhile ever is. If Tyrone thought the things lurking in the jungle of Vietnam were bad, what's waiting for him on the dark side of Heaven is worse."

Binding tight. 332pp HEAVY BOOK - ADDITIONAL INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING For more than 40 years, John Gollings has been the photographer of choice - the go-to guy for scores of architects. A Gollings photograph reveals a great deal about the aspirations, aims and beliefs, and the zeitgeist of a building and its architect's intentions.

Beautiful Ugly takes a look - in words, pictures and recollections - at the art of Gollings's photography as he has made his remarkable journey around Australia's architectural landscape. The images, personally selected by Gollings for this book, open a door into the art of architectural photography as interpreted through the lens and eye of one of Australia's greatest architectural photographers, a true maker of pictures.
