Hardback. Condition: Good. Like no other music of its era, Moby's oceanic, bluesy electronica has summed up the millennial turn's rootless melancholia, in massive worldwide hits like "Porcelain," "Natural Blues" and "Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?" His 1999 album Play sold over ten million copies and converted a whole generation to electronic dance music. With Destroyed, Moby has created a visual analogue to his gorgeous soundworld. The photographs in this volume record the sizeable portion of his life that is spent shuttling from plane to bus to venue to stage to party to hotel room to oblivion. "I hope that somehow in these pictures," Moby writes, "I'm able to convey the mundanity of touring, juxtaposed with those moments of the strange and/or sublime. One minute on tour you're by yourself in a soulless airport, the next minute you're flying over the most beautiful landscapes on the planet. One minute on tour you're by yourself in a soulless backstage area, the next minute you're on stage pouring your heart out to 75,000 people. Touring is all contrasts and strangeness, and that's what I'm trying to convey in these pictures." The 60 photographs in Moby: Destroyed accordingly veer from crowdedness to isolation, capturing the extremes of a life lived on the road. Also included is Moby's new album of the same name. Richard Hall, aka Moby, was born in Harlem, New York City, in 1965. Having studied classical guitar, piano and drums as a child, and after stints in various punk bands, he debuted in the early 1990s alongside Orbital, The Prodigy and Aphex Twin, as a representative of a new generation in electronica, emerging from Ambient House and Techno, and foreshadowing Trip Hop. Moby's bestselling 1999 album Play propelled him to worldwide fame; its successor, 18 (2002), earned gold and platinum awards in over 30 countries. Already famous for his veganism, Moby made his authorial debut in March 2010 as a contributor to Gristle: From Factory Farms to Food Safety, a collection of essays on the dangers of eating meat.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Il Bel Centro: A Year in the Beautiful Center is a passport to the heart of Italy. Michelle Damiani chronicles how her American family of five transformed within the medieval walls of Spello. Part searingly-honest memoir, part celebration of Umbrian life, Il Bel Centro evokes the pleasures of an Italian hill town, complete with colorful characters, historical asides, and storied celebrations. At once hilarious and wise, this spellbinding journey will feed your soul and your wanderlust. Il Bel Centro will sweep you into an Italian village, where for bakers, pants are optional, and a good lunch will take you straight through till dinner. A magical read. I absolutely couldn't get enough of this book. I was instantly transported to Italy. This is one of the most beautiful books I've ever read. Could not put it down. I could smell the freshly baked bread, taste the local wine, and if I closed my eyes I could easily see the sloping hills, the pink stones of Spello, the 'alley ladies' with their basket of vegetables to sort and their easy chatter.

Hardback. Condition: Fair. Clark Winter?s perceptive photographs of cars across the decades?and around the world?revel in nostalgia while revealing the subtleties of our relationship with automobiles, drivers and the things we see along the way. Since their invention, cars have been one of the driving forces behind America?s constantly changing culture. Not only have they helped shape the country?s sprawling cities and suburban society, but they?ve inspired films (from American Graffiti to The Fast and the Furious) and songs ( from the Beach Boys? zippy Fun, Fun, Fun to Bruce Springsteen?s anthemic Thunder Road ) and an endless parade of road-trip books. Over the course of half a century, Clark Winter captured images of the car as a symbol of Americana, yes, but more intriguingly, he also found a global spirit in this form of transportation in countries such as Spain, Italy and China. Winter?s photographs, made in both color and black-and white, are not simply focused on the vehicles but rather on the way people physically relate to cars, turning each image into a stage upon which a drama quietly (and sometimes comically) unfolds between owner, passenger, and passerby. And because these dramas are universal?eating ice cream in the backseat, waiting for a pump at the gas station, stuck in traffic, busted for speeding?Winter?s wide-eyed, often lighthearted pictures invite us to recall and relive our own days of adventure, romance and speed.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. No Circus brings together a collection of Randi Malkin Steinberger's photographs of buildings tented for termite fumigation around Los Angeles. Randomly coming across these shrouded structures aroused her sense of wonder from the time she arrived in this city in the early 1990s. Whenever she spotted the colourful stripes, she pulled her car off the road to photograph them, knowing that the tent could be undraped at any moment. Intrigued by the way the colours and shapes of the tents "show off " the forms below and highlight the beauty of the poor plants on the outside, still fl ourishing, unaware that they are slowly being poisoned. These cloaked structures are ubiquitous in the Los Angeles landscape yet they are most often seen as a mere flash of colour as one drives by. Beyond their intended purpose of fumigation, they unwittingly allow us to stop and contemplate not only architectural form and the meaning of home, but also the Southern California lifestyle that currently has all eyes upon it.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. While developing the concept for his latest book, From the Heart, photographer Chris Craymer was inspired by the idea of not only photographing his subjects, but also interviewing them, to create holistic portraits. Known internationally for his fashion and lifestyle photography, Craymer had never before played the role of interviewer. The ritual and vulnerability of having one's portrait taken forges a trust between photographer and subject, and Craymer found that it was as if a door had been opened during the photography sessions, as the words in the interviews flowed from the heart. The resulting portraits are unique and intimate: the reader senses Craymer's connection with each of his subjects.…
