Gift-giving
Coming up, back by popular demand (I sure do get requests), TOP will offer two museum-quality original signed silver prints by Peter Turnley for delivery before the holidays. Arguably his two very most popular classic black-and-white photographs of Paris, one older, one newer.
This time they'll be full-sized prints (a first for us), and at the lowest price these prints have ever been sold for. In case you're trying to think of a cool gift for someone important to you. We're working on a way to offer a slipcased, inscribed and signed hardcover copy of Peter's latest book as part of the deal, for free, as a bonus.
Treasure in storage
In other sales news, I've located another batch of leftover NOS photobooks, this time hiding quietly in the basement of a major photography museum. (NOS = "new old stock," meaning brand new books that have been sitting around for a while.) Very limited supply, but a number of titles. Some exceptionally fine books, some long unavailable new, that, if everything works out right, we'll be offering on TOP at nominal prices. (The Museum isn't interested in making money from these, it just wants them to go to the right people, rather than—I can barely bring myself to say this!—into a dumpster.)
More about both these things as I know more. Stay tuned.
Mike

NOS is nice. I recently bought a hardcover copy of "Elliot Porter" a 1987 NY Graphic Society publication. It was still in the original shrink wrap and is beautiful at a fraction of the original $75 price. I'll be looking forward to what you will be listing.

Wow, buried treasure! This is probably a dumb question, but what is a "full-sized" print? I assume you're referring to an arbitrary size that is Peter Turnley's personal standard (and thus what he has in mind while photographing) but that's a guess.

Uh oh, I can hear the conversation with my wife now. "So dear, which Takumar lens did you just buy or is it another book?"
Cheers,
Ned

I will be over here in the corner crying since I am far too broke to consider such a print.

Please tell me it's "Tony Ray-Jones by Russell Roberts". I can't afford the current asking price of that one! I'm a sucker for books with contact sheets in them.
