order quantity

NZ$ 30.00 each

Paperback

Author: John McCrystal

In Stock: 1

Austin Somerset, Morris Minor, Standard Vanguard, Ford Prefect, Vauxhall Wyvern, Jowett Javelin, Hillman Super Minx ...names redolent of the heyday of British car manufacturing, and for a great many of us representative of the cars we grew up with. From dated-looking Forty-niner Fords and Chevy Fleetlines, to the 'otherwordly' Forward Look Chryslers; from the chastened lines of mid-60s Ramblers, Larks and Fairlanes, to the last of the genuinely stylish American cars: Mustangs, Camaros and Firebirds - these are the cars of movies and television, of magazines and novels, of hopes and dreams. A combined and updated edition of John's previous books Yank Tanks and The Cars We Loved, this book features the British and American classics adored by all New Zealanders. It features profiles of 30 different cars on 128 pages illustrated with colour photos.

Don McCullin in Africa

NZ$ 110.00 each

Hardback

Author: Don McCullin

In Stock: 1

'No one has surpassed - in breadth, in directness, in intimacy, in unforgettability - the gut-wrenching work produced by Don McCullin.' Susan Sontag

Don McCullin's reputation stands as one of the greatest war photographers of our times. In recent years he has photographed the landscape surrounding his home in Somerset, but his later travels have taken him to some of the most remote regions in the world. His skill in photographing people in extreme situations has enabled him to mix with tribes on the edges of civilisation. His work among the people of Irian Jaya, including cannibals, appeared in his last book, Don McCullin. McCullin's new work in Africa reaches one of the last corners of the earth where signs of outside influence are few, though they appear ominously significant. Over the last two years Don McCullin has travelled south from Addis Ababa in Ethiopia to the valley of the Omo River leading down to the border with Sudan. ... more

Grand Prix Yesterday and Today

order quantity

NZ$ 60.00 each

Hardback

Author: Bruce Jones

In Stock: 1

Grand Prix Yesterday & Today is a timely celebration of motoring racing, dating back to its origins in 1906.

Complementing these expertly chosen images are reflections on the situations then and now. The structure of the book allows today's F1 fan to see just how much things have technically changed over the years but paradoxically how many of the fundamentals of motor racing have remained unaltered.
Times may change, but the Grand Prix remains the compelling spectacle that it always was.

India Through the Lens

order quantity

NZ$ 95.00 each

Paperback

Author: Vidya Dehejia

In Stock: 1

During the days of the British Raj, India was at the vanguard of the explosion of photography in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and early Indian and British photographers strove to document and reveal its landscape, people, culture and architecture. More than 250 extraordinary and gorgeous sepia and hand-tinted photographic reproductions, and insightful text, capture the splendour of India. "India Through the Lens" was a featured exhibition in 2001, at the Arthur Sackler Gallery, over one hundred images described as a kaleidoscope of India; landscape, people and buildings - with a subtle perfume of Orientalism, a Western fascination with all things Eastern. In these images of India, which - despite their turbans, tiger shoots and holy men, forts and maharajas - say less about that country than they do about Great Britain's attempts to document in detail its most bewildering possession.
