Penguin Putnam Inc How Did I Get Here A Memoir
Book SynopsisFrom his hardscrabble post-World War II Ontario childhood and coming of age to Mad Men-era New York City and the creative pinnacle of advertising, to the hallowed halls of Saturday Night Live and The New Yorker, Bruce McCall’s personal and creative journey is stunningly honest, bittersweet, and, above all, inspiring. Beloved for his strikingly original and wickedly perceptive New Yorker covers, as well as his many Shouts and Murmurs, Bruce is a rare double threat as an artist and writer. Self-taught in both disciplines, his artistic world has captured the imagination of a loyal fan base that includes no less than David Letterman (whom he coauthored a book with) and other satire aficionados.

Penguin Putnam Inc A Dog Named Jimmy The Social Media Sensation
Book Synopsis100 new and classic images of popular Instagram celebrity Jimmy Choo the Bull TerrierOn Rafael Mantesso's thirtieth birthday, his wife left him. She took their cookware, their furniture, their photos, their decorations. She left Rafael alone in an empty all-white apartment. The only thing she didn't take was their bull terrier, whom she'd named after her favorite shoe designer: Jimmy Choo.With only Jimmy for company, Rafael found inspiration in his blank walls and his best friend and started snapping photos of Jimmy Choo as he trotted and cavorted around the house in glee. Then, when Jimmy collapsed in happy exhaustion next to the white wall, on a whim Rafael grabbed a marker and drew a new world around his ginger-eared pup. Suddenly, Rafael felt his long-dormant inspiration—for drawing, for art, for life—returning.The result? Hundreds of charming and cheeky images chronicling the owner and dog's relationship and adventures, including poses in

Phaidon Press Ltd Real Food
Book SynopsisA fun collection of Martin Parr's food pictures, which documents the simple notion that 'we are what we eat'Trade Review"[U]nflinching, sardonic, edgy... direct, sometimes harsh and almost always funny." —Washington Post Online"Martin Parr's glorious photos of bad food won’t make you hungry. They might even nauseate you. But you won't be able to look away. His new book, with the wry title Real Food, is gut-busting celebration of everything your mother would never let you eat." —Wired Online"Martin Parr's Real Food is an eye-opening and excellent commentary on the world of food photography." —The Phoblographer"There is still a silent majority in this country who favour a Jammie Dodger over a chia seed pudding, thanks very much." —The Guardian"It’s a gastronomic joy to flick through the saturated pages and the photographer’s images have been deliciously paired together, creating a dialogue within the wordless book." —Itsnicethat.com"Garish and outlandish, refined and processed grub shot over the past 25 years." —Jocks and Nerds"Martin's foodie photographs are a bit less flattering - and much more revealing." —TheSun.co.uk"It's a lot less glamorous than what you might see on Instagram." —BusinessInsider.com"It might not have you smacking your lips as much as a flick through Nigella’s latest, but we can all agree that is certainly more fun." —Refinery29"Food is [Parr's] focus here and it’s a good subject on which he can go full-Parr." —Monocle"Tired of food photos on Instagram? Take a look at these real pics from a master photographer." —The Indian Express"You can keep your smashed avocados on artisanal bread, photographer Martin Parr’s new book pays tribute to real food." —Esquire"This book is by turns sweet and sardonic with a must-read forward by chef Fergus Henderson." —Delicious"A terrific introduction from St John’s Fergus Henderson." —Observer Food Monthly"This is a book I devoured." —Bloomberg.com"Irrepressibly naughty and tongue-in-cheek." —Somethingaboutmagazine.com"Martin Parr's hard-flashed, bright and colorful but totally inedible food photos... Keep you coming back for seconds." —Bon Appetit"Martin Parr’s collection of food snapshots shows off his uncanny ability to mix pleasure and horror." —CityLab"Parr celebrates a democratic kind of authenticity in food." —PDN"Everyday meals are transformed into witty photographs." —Red"You'll never look at a hot dog the same way again." —AnOthermag.com"Garish and at times gross, the saturated shots portray cuisine in a fashion only Martin can accomplish." —ItsNiceThat.com"A kaleidoscopic view [...] hotdogs, buns, pies, you name it... It’s appropriate to treat the book as documentary project... It fits perfectly into Parr’s habit of finding the everyday items of a culture that speak volumes about the politics and culture surrounding them."—Amateur Photographer

Book SynopsisThe first career retrospective of activist photographer Brian Weil, whose work and practice explored insular cultures.This book offers the first career retrospective of Brian Weil (1954-1996), an artist whose photographs pushed viewers into a deeply unsteadying engagement with insular communities and subcultures. A younger contemporary of such participant-observer photographers as Larry Clark and Nan Goldin, Weil took photographs that foreground the complex relationships between photographer and subject, and between photograph and viewer. Weil was a member of ACT UP and the founder of New York City's first needle exchange, and his photographs became inextricably tied to his activist practice. His late work, an extensive series of portraits whose subjects bear witness to the emerging AIDS pandemic, is included here, along with selections from several earlier and concurrent projects: Sex (underground sex and bondage participants), Miami Crime (homicide scenes inve
