As long as we're talking Japanese photographers, anybody has one (or more) photo book by Takuma Nakahira they could recommend?


I don’t know if this is coincidence or you also got the email from Aperture today, but they just published a new book by Nakahira. It sounds like it’s more a book of his writings than his photographs, however, although some photographs are included.

Yes, that's what prompted my question. Got the email, ordered the book, but since it is a book of essays, I'm looking for a photobook to complement.

I wouldn't mind getting my hands on a copy of this, but not for the hundreds or even thousands of dollars that people are asking for it on eBay and AbeBooks.

Yeah. Saw it on Biblio...

That's 960$CAD...

Is that the “new” 2010’ish edition? I have that but I seriously doubt anyone would really pay that much.
Delirious sellers I think.

Yale University Press has its Winter Sale on now.

Very tempted by the David Goldblatt book, but a bit short on funds these days (blame Ilford's photo paper prices...).

Don't you have second hand bookstores there? There is a guy here in Lausanne that gets books in amazing prices.
I bought HCB "America in Passing" for 15 Euros.

There's a couple of books that I'm interested in as well. Although I just bought the new Graciela Iturbide book from the Getty Museum Shop sale and I too spent a small fortune on Ilford Art 300 paper.

We do and I buy from some of them as well. I don't really have any local to me, but I buy from some used shops that also sell online. I've found a few decent deals, but it seems like most of the better shops I know of use eBay pricing so they tend to be overpriced.

Yes, but the Goldblatt is a new book.

I often buy used online from Biblio. And once in a while I get lucky in our local used book stores, like last week, when I found Aperture's new release of Lyon's The Bikeriders for 20$.

Many independent bookstore carry used books. It can be an adventure. While traveling earlier this year, I found two out-of-print books I had been looking for at independent shops.

Aperture has a 40% off sale on books until 12/1. Unfortunately, most of the books I clicked on showed 'Out of Stock' so I'm not sure what the point is of listing them with sale prices. But you might find something there you're interested in that actually is in stock...

I limited myself to three books (so far 🙂) this holiday season. The first one just arrived:

I've only had a few minutes to flip through it, but it looks good so far.
