Stumbled across it while pre-ordering the new Paul Strand book (anyone see this one yet--it's available in Philly at the museum, apparently).

Alinder's bio of Ansel was excellent and is one of the only people from the Ansel inner circle who is not putting out crap just to make a buck.

Should be interesting.

Great, have been waiting for the book for a few years. I wonder if they will have it at the Alinder Gallery, which is not too far from me.

I just now pre-ordered the Allinder book.
But what is the new Paul Strand book?

It's the catalog for a new show in Philly (hopefully traveling): http://www.amazon.com/dp/0300207921/...I1MD37FFRKUCY3

Also a new book on Aaron Siskand: http://www.amazon.com/dp/0292762917/...I2R2FNFZWHBY02

Quite a straight photography bonanza this year (with the Watkins exhibit and the Bullock show, Minor White...I forget who else!)

Not done, but that's how I read. Many books at once.

I found the new Paul Strand book disappointing. Hope for better from Alinder -- her AA bio was good.

My Amazon box was snatched away as a Christmas gift....what did you not like about the Strand book?

(Also lost the Alinder book in the same fashion...)

My Amazon box was snatched away as a Christmas gift....what did you not like about the Strand book?

Dark, muddy reproductions of the images compared to other books I have (most specifically the comprehansive Duotone printing by Aperture in 1968). And I found the essays too much about the editors who were making the book and not much about Strand.
I returned it to Amazon, which is something that I seldom do.
My favorite of all photography books is Strand/Newhouse "Time in New England."

They must have been trying match those images to the way they look under current, dungeon-like museum lighting.

Bill, it seems you posted the single Amazon review of that book:

"The images are printed somewhat darkly..."
