Indefatigable ace investigator Kevin Purcell has discovered, direct from the publisher, Hatje Cantz, in Germany, that there is only one edition of Fred Herzog's Modern Color...the hardcover. So wherever you find it, however it is listed, that is what you will receive. (I'm still awaiting mine.)
Thanks to Kevin! And to Sabine at Hatje Cantz.
Here are the ordering links again:
• Amazon.co.uk (United Kingdom)
• Amazon.de (Germany)
• The Book Depository with free shipping worldwide
• Amazon.com (USA)
Mike
(Thanks to Kevin Purcell)

Mike replies: We really like Fred. Also, when I post wrong information, I like to correct it.
Nigel adds: "I just received my copy from Amazon UK, and have to say that the Fred Herzog promotion is entirely deserved."
Thanks Mike! I had been all set to order from the Book Depository, but noticed that it was listed as paperback. Your right, checking the ISBN, it shows as hardback.

What I ordered from the Book Depository a few days ago (from your link) says "Fred Herzog (paperback)". I've liked Fred Herzog's work for a long time so I'm excited about it either way. It'll be a nice surprise if it's a hardcover in disguise, though. :)

Very interesting. Ordered via Amazon uk.

The bookdepository version is not titled Modern Color.. just "Fred Herzog" - and it's described as "Paperback", 320pp. Could Hatje Cantz have released a budget paperback version?
[No, what they confirmed is that the listing at Book Depository is in error. It's the right date and the right publisher, so it has to be the hardcover.
Anyway I ordered mine from them, so I'll know for sure as soon as it gets here! --Mike]

Ordered my copy from Amazon UK via the TOP link... arrived the next day. It's an absolute joy, and very good value.

Dang. I ordered mine from the Book Depository then saw that it was "paperback," so I cancelled the order and ordered from an Amazon reseller.

The book and more importantly the "work" of Fred deserves all the promotion it is receiving. My gosh, what a great eye for color and the images of everyday, normal everyday life is exceptional. No movie stars, celeberties, sports icons, just regular folks, it is quite refreshing.

Thanks, Mike. I purchased the Fred Herzog book through your Amazon link. I've been aware of his work for a few years. I'm pleased to add "Modern Color" to my photo book library.
