Annie’s Big Book. 40 years of era-defining photography, now in an accessible edition. When Benedikt Taschen asked the most important portrait photographer working today, Annie Leibovitz, to collect her pictures in a SUMO-sized book, she was intrigued by the challenge. The project took several years to develop and when it was finally published in 2014, it weighed in at 26 kg (57 pounds). This incredible collection is now available in an accessible XXL book format. Leibovitz drew on more than 40 years of work, starting with the photojournalism she did for Rolling Stone magazine in the 1970s through the conceptual portraits she made for Vanity Fair and Vogue. She selected iconic images—such as John Lennon and Yoko Ono entwined in a last embrace—as well as portraits that had rarely, if ever, been seen before. The Annie Leibovitz SUMO...

A charming and increasingly collectible early 20th-century Boy Scouts adventure title, The Boy Scouts to the Rescue by George Durston, published in 1921 by the Saalfield Publishing Company. The book retains original Markham School District 102 institutional stamps, offering a wonderful glimpse into its early life in an American school library. Bound in its original light olive-green cloth with striking black pictorial decoration to the front cover and spine, this example retains its authentic period character, enhanced by visible age, school district markings, and a beautifully time-softened patina to the pages. The title page confirms the 1921 copyright date in Roman numerals (MCMXXI), placing this firmly in the golden era of American scouting literature — a period that coincided with the rapid cultural rise of the Boy Scouts of America (founded 1910). The cover illustration — depicting uniformed scouts in an action scene — is a wonderful example of early 20th-century graphic book design and makes this piece particularly display-worthy. Condition: Good antique...
