Football Days: Classic Football Photographs by Peter Robinson (Mitchell Beazley Sport S.) Will Hoon
 A definitive photojournal of soccer culture in the modern era! Peter Robinson is considered one of the great soccer photographers of our time, and for over 30 years he has developed a reporting style that’s unique, informed, and questioning.

Robinson’s idiosyncratic perspective—and thrilling images of rawness and honesty—are showcased in eight chapters, each focusing on a distinctive element of the sport.

The Sun Steele Hill, Michael Carlowicz
 Awe-inspiring and familiar, comforting yet sometimes frightening, the sun is the center around which all life revolves. Now, an expert on solar images teams up with a noted science writer to present a photographic book devoted entirely to the sun, illustating the star we know and revealing recent discoveries.

Perhaps best of all, the book's compact, square sie makes The Sun as inviting to hold as it is to read....

Sierra Nevada: The John Muir Trail Ansel Adams, William A. Turnage
 A rare jewel has been discovered in the oeuvre of Ansel Adams. SIERRA NEVADA: THE JOHN MUIR TRAIL, originally published in an edition of only 500 copies in 1938, is an extraordinary publication in many respects. Adams, at the age of 36, was commissioned to prepare a book of his photographs taken along the world-famous John Muir Trail as a tribute to Pete Starr, a young American mountaineer (and son of a Sierra Club president) killed in a climbing accident. Composed of 50 photographs of the Sierra Nevada--many never published again--the book is an exquisite portrait of the mountain world of the High Sierra in California. When first published, it set a new standard for fine photographic reproduction in book form. Little, Brown takes great pride in announcing a new edition of this magnificent book....

CBGB: Decades of Graffiti Christopher D Salyers
 CBGB, the music club that helped define New York City's "punk" scene by introducing the world to such bands as the Talking Heads and Ramones, is little more than a bar, a stage and two bathrooms. Since the club opened in 1973, very little has changed about the physical space, with one exception: the graffiti. The club has never stopped its patrons from adding to the mosaics of ink and pencil that literally cover every square inch of the club's walls. As grimy and layered with ink as they are, the walls contain the history of the club, from the musicians to the fans....

Woof
 From acclaimed photographer and famed lover of dogs Elliott Erwitt comes Woof , the most unintentionally persuasive advertisement for dog ownership there ever was. Erwitt's eye is unfailing, and his love for dogs is captured in each and every photo. Digging a hole, barking at a cat, jauntily carrying a stick—Erwitt takes these ordinary moments and makes them extraordinary. The humorist P. G. Wodehouse once said of Erwitt, 'There’s not a sitter in his gallery that doesn't melt the heart, and no beastly class distinctions, either. Thoroughbreds and mutts, they are all there." Add to that the level of respect Mr. Erwitt shows for his subjects: whether it be a scruffy little terrier pausing for a quick pant or a herding dog intensely focused on her flock, with one click of the shutter the individuality of each and every dog is conveyed and memorialized. Mostly new photographs, with a couple of old favorites sprinkled in for good measure, Woof is a celebration of......
