Attended BookExpo ‘08 and Lived To Tell About It (from www.chrisengholm.com)
Last weekend I attended the BookExpo in LA and lugged out 100 pounds of publishers catalogs. The big fun was pawing at the new high-end Taschen titles and those at the deNeues booth. Aperture had some great stuff too, and their rep was really informative. (I got all the dope on art book publishing that I hoped to get by attending the expo.) After perusing the million booths and all the handouts, here is my Christmas list of most anticipated photography book titles for Fall, 2008.

“Moscow Nights” Antonin Kratochvil. 120 pages. $25. December.
“The Black Is Waiting for the White” Mario Giacomelli. 250 pages. $60. January, ‘09.
