Dear
friend of Beyond Words, |
||||||||
| Nazraeli Press
|
||||||||
We start by asking Chris Pichler, the owner of Nazraeli, what he thinks about the way photography publishing is going, and how he sees Nazraeli moving forward: “The growing influence of "zines" is such an interesting and wonderful development in the face of an ever more digital world, it may be the most important development in publishing in years. Just when people began saying (yet again) that the end of the printed page is here, out popped this charming, homemade, underground style of making books, for very little money. Anybody can do it, and it's probably what we would be doing if we were just starting out. Since we are not just starting out, however, our own efforts are going toward our new series of limited-edition books with prints, "Six by Six", and continuing to publish the more traditional monographs that have allowed us to have so much fun for the past twenty years.” Here are Chris’s choices for Nazraeli’s twelve Books of 2010. (We have had to abbreviate the descriptions for this newsletter. Please see our website for fuller descriptions.) |

| Alessandra Sanguinetti: The Adventures of Guille and Belinda | ||||||||
| Nazraeli Press, Hardback, Publisher's Price |
||||||||
![]() |
This is the story of two young cousins named Guille and Belinda. In 1999, when they were 10 and 9 years old and living in a rural province of Buenos Aires, their paths crossed with photographer Alessandra Sanguinetti. Drawn to the girls, whose evident affection for each other is somehow magnified by their mismatched physiques, Sanguinetti took pictures to "crystallize their rich yet fragile and unattended world". To witness the evolving relationship between Guille and Belinda is to be privy to a touching, entertaining and utterly captivating interaction. At the same time there is the subtle awareness of a second relationship, that of this delightful pair and their photographer. The images follow the cousins for five years, from pre-teen to adolescent, as they play, dream and unwind their way through the secret enchantment that is childhood (Hardcover, 10 x 12, 68 pages, 61 four-color plates.) | |||||||

Alec Soth’s contribution to the One Picture Book series opens with a note: “In March of 1992, Rachel and I made a road trip down the Mississippi River. Along with our German Shepherd, Tasha, we travelled from our home in Minnesota to Memphis, Tennessee.” The twelve images that follow - eleven reproductions and one original photograph - are all previously unpublished. They convey wonderfully both the innocence and excitement of what was to become an epic journey.

| Nazraeli’s
three top recommendations from other publishers
|
||||||||
| Robert Adams: What Can We Believe Where? Photographs of the American West, 1965-2005 | ||||||||
| Yale University Press, Hardback, Publisher's Price |
||||||||
![]() |
Since taking up photography in the mid-1960s, Robert Adams has quietly become one of the most influential chroniclers of the evolving American landscape. Carefully edited by Adams from a remarkable body of work spanning 1965 to 2005, What Can We Believe Where? presents a narrative sequence of more than 100 tritone images that reveals a steadfast concern for our increasingly tragic relationship with the natural world. Adams' understated yet arresting pictures of the vast Colorado plains, the rapid suburbanization of the Denver and Colorado Springs areas, and the ecological devastation of the Pacific Northwest register with subtle precision the complex and often fragile beauty of the scenes they depict. The most accessible collection of Adams' work to date (120 pages, 110 tritone illustrations) | |||||||
| Raymond Meeks amwell | continuum | ||||||||
| ”This short book moves beautifully from place to people to interiors to place and from colour to black and white and back to colour smoothly with a sense of ease and in a way which is almost unnoticed as you spend time with the pictures” (review from photo-muse.blogspot) This self-published artist’s book was published in various editions, some of which may no longer be available – please contact Beyond Words for the latest information. To view other examples of Raymond Meeks' truly unique and very beautiful artist's books visit the his website at www.raymondmeeks.net. | ||||||||
| Yuki Onodera : Yuki Onodera (Tankosha) | ||||||||
![]() |
Yuki Onodera's international reputation is founded on her ongoing study of the act of photography itself, as well as the fantastical ideas that underpin her own photographs. Published to accompany the summer 2010 exhibition Into the Labyrinth of Photography in Tokyo, this book includes work from 18 series and 211 prints. A comprehensive visual overview of two decades of work (215 p, ills colour & bw, 20 x 25 cm, hardback). We hope to find a European supplier for this title and the price should be about £36.50 – please contact Beyond Words if you are interested. | |||||||
