The Little Black Jacket: Chanel’s Classic Revisited
Karl Lagerfeld; Carine Roitfeld
Gottingen: Steidl, 2012.“This book is Karl Lagerfeld and Carine Roitfeld’s reinterpretation of Chanel’s iconic little black jacket. Lagerfeld has redesigned the jacket, transforming it into a modern, adaptable garment to be worn by both sexes of all ages. The Little Black Jacket contains Lagerfeld’s photographs of celebrities wearing the jacket with individual flair – sometimes classic, sometimes irreverent, but always Chanel – and each styled by Carine Roitfeld. A range of accomplished actors, musicians, designers, models, writers and directors gets the little black jacket treatment, including Claudia Schiffer, Uma Thurman, Kanye West, Tilda Swinton, Baptiste Giabiconi, Yoko Ono and Sarah Jessica Parker. This book shows the astounding versatility of Chanel’s vision in Lagerfeld’s hands, and ensures the little black jacket’s future as a timeless classic.”

Among Wild Animals and People in Australia
Eric Mjoberg
Perth: Hesperian Press, 2012.Originally published in Swedish in 1915 as ‘Bland vilda djur och folk i Australien’. Here translated into English for the first time by Margareta Luotsinen and Kim Akerman. “From October 1910 to August 1911 biologist Erik Mjoberg and his seven man Swedish team travelled by bullock wagon through the West Kimberley collecting invertebrates, birds, mammals, and ethnographic research material. Their ten month journey took them from Derby, along the Fitzroy River upstream to Mount Anderson Station. Some members then went on to Noonkanbah, the St George Ranges and Fitzroy Crossing, while others went south to Mowla Bluff. After the return to Derby two members went to Sunday Island and then followed the stock route across the Leopold Ranges to Mount Barnett. Extensive collections were also made around Derby and Meda Station. Finally the expedition re-convened in Broome where side trips included a coastal trip by pearling lugger collecting marine specimens and another trip to Beagle Bay, collecting birds. Eric Mjöberg’s idiosyncratic text remained in the Swedish language until this long-awaited English translation. Now, for the first time, this unique perspective on biota and people is brought to a new generation of readers with an interest in Kimberley history and geography.” (publisher’s blurb)

Terribly Awesome Photo Books
Paul Kooiker; Erik Kessels
[Gent]: Art Paper Editions, 2012.“For several years, Paul Kooiker and Erik Kessels have organized evenings for friends in which they share the strangest photo books in their collections. The books shown are rarely available in regular shops, but are picked up in thrift stores and from antiquaries. The group’s fascination for these pictorial non-fiction books comes from the need to find images that exist on the fringe of regular commercial photo books. It’s only in this area that it’s possible to find images with an uncontrived quality. What’s noticeable from these publications is that there’s a thin line between being terrible and being awesome. This constant tension makes the books interesting. It’s also worth noting that these tomes all fall within certain categories: the medical, instructional, scientific, sex, humour or propaganda. Paul Kooiker and Erik Kessels have made a selection of their finest books from within this questionable new genre.” (publisher’s blurb)

Heath Course Pak
Tan Lin
Denver: Counterpath, 2012.“Like its predecessor, HEATH (plagiarism/outsource), Heath Course Pak exists somewhere between a Project Gutenberg version of Samuel Pepys Diary and a minute-to-minute news feed and blog of Heath Ledger’s death. Sad, appropriated, lyrical and confused, the book contains a brief history of recent performance art, a legal defense of plagiarism, the diary of a poetry workshop at the Asian American Writer’s Workshop, an MP3 protest song, and an examination of SMS and GMS technologies as distribution networks for human sadness. Multi-authored, and with numerous text blocks and photos, the revised edition contains 52 pages of new material, an interview, an annotated text, autographed photos of Jackie Chan and Heath Ledger, e-PostIts, COAs, and coffee/tea stains.” (publisher’s blurb)

Airport Encounter
James Badger
: Privately Printed, 2012.Erotic coming of age fiction with some homosexual themes set in Brisbane, Armidale, and Toulouse. Limited private printing of 100 copies. “Nigel Wellesley is an Australian choirboy and this book follows him and his talented group of friends from their first sexual experiences into being teenagers. The action switches between Brisbane, Armidale and Toulouse as Nigel has to cope with his girlfriend Jane Barton being in a different city, and then in a different country, but he has plenty of sex-play with his fellow boys while they are separated. Music naturally plays a major part in the story. Mark Ambon is a talented composer and his very shy girlfriend Rose Trescowick is a poet, while Andy Riemer (son of a jazz musician) juggles being a child prodigy pianist with surfing. All of these have major parts in the plot, as do a dirt-poor Moroccan immigrant family in Armidale who Nigel and Jane befriend. A heart-warming, and quite sexually explicit, story.” (publisher’s blurb)
