Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love were notorious for representing the opposite of “Family Values.” To reframe their notoriety, they consented to a rare photoshoot for Spin magazine with their newborn, Frances Bean. Only 5 images were originally published; the rest of the photoshoot is seen here for the first time.
With an ineffable ability to connect with people through his music, Kurt Cobain was charismatic and full of pathos, something of a lost boy poet struggling against his personal demons while holding the world in thrall. And yet in the midst of his struggles with success, fame, fortune, drugs, and the wounds of a traumatic childhood, he managed in his brief adulthood to get married to Courtney Love—who of course had her own accomplishments as an electrifying and unrestrained lead singer and lyricist. The couple had already emerged as a cultural touchstone when their baby, Frances Bean, was born in 1992. Photographers Guzman captured, amidst toys and pajamas, the sweetness, humor, irony and the simple happiness of a new mom and dad at home with their baby girl.
Family Values is a photography book presenting approximately 90 images featuring Kurt, Courtney, and their baby Frances, one morning in their modest Hollywood home selected from a photoshoot that Guzman did for Spin magazine in 1992. Only five photographs from the shoot were published in the magazine at the time, including the cover. Another appeared in Rolling Stone at the time of Kurt Cobain’s death. In Spin, the photos originally accompanied an interview by Jonathan Poneman, which Guzman plans to license to reprint in the book. The book will also include a memoir of the photo shoot written by Guzman and an introduction by curator and music journalist Michael Azerrad.
Family Values is a photographic assignment that revealed two famous rock stars who during one brief moment transcended the magnifying glass of fame and were revealed, amidst all the chaos, as being just a mom and dad.
Idea opracowania listy najcenniejszych na świecie obiektów narodziła się na początku lat 70. XX wieku. W 1977 roku odbyła się pierwsza sesja Komitetu Światowego Dziedzictwa, a w 1978 roku w Waszyngtonie dokonano wpisu pierwszych dwunastu obiektów, wśród których znalazły się aż dwa miejsca usytuowane na terenie Polski Stare Miasto w Krakowie i Kopalnia Soli w Wieliczce. W książce opisano najciekawsze z 1199 miejsc, które do 2024 roku zostały umieszczone na Liście Światowego Dziedzictwa Kulturalnego i Przyrodniczego UNESCO. Doskonałe fotografie wzbogacone opisami przybliżają Czytelnikom skarby architektoniczne i przyrodnicze, jakie kryją się na sześciu kontynentach.

Like the first part of the Unseen series (London Unseen), New York Unseen is an authentic approach to the character of a world metropolis. It is the first illustrated book that attempts to capture the soul of the Big Apple without focusing on tourist highlights such as the Statue of Liberty and Central Park. Instead, Luc Kordas focuses on intimate encounters with the protagonists of the East Coast metropolis: its residents. Embedded in their "natural habitat," the mostly black-and-white images of people from the city's streets, backyards, apartments, or trains often tell much more than the 1,000th image of the Empire State Building could. The result is a photographic smorgasbord of looks, gestures, situations that capture the soul of New York. The city is thus seen from its edges, and at the same time from its innermost - an unprecedented view of what is probably the most photographed city in the world.

There are many miles from the business school and basketball court at the University of Southern California to 50 million viewers for the final episode of a TV show called Magnum P.I. Tom Selleck has lived every one of those miles in his own iconoclastic and joyful way.
Frank, funny and open-hearted, You Never Know is an intimate memoir from a beloved actor, the story of a remarkable life and thoroughly accidental career. Journey to the top in Hollywood, learn of his mistakes and his well-earned success. Selleck clears up an armload of misconceptions and shares never-told stories. His rambunctious California childhood. His clueless arrival as a good-looking college jock in Hollywood (from the Dating Game to the Fox New Talent Program to co-starring with Mae West). What it was like to emerge as a mega-star in his mid-thirties and remain so for decades to come, an actor whose ease on screen connected with audiences worldwide, while redefining the clichés of manhood.
In You Never Know, Selleck recounts his personal friendships with a vivid army of A-listers, everyone from Frank Sinatra to Carol Burnett to Sam Elliott, paying special tribute to his mentor James Garner of The Rockford Files, who believed, like Selleck, that TV protagonists are far more interesting when they have rough edges. He tips his hat to the American western and the scruffy band of actors, directors and other ruffians who helped define that classic genre, where Selleck has repeatedly found a happy home. Magnum fans will be fascinated to learn how Selleck put his career on the line to make Thomas Magnum a more imperfect hero and explains why he walked away from a show that could easily have gone on for years longer.
Hollywood is never easy, even for stars who make it look that way. Selleck explains how he’s struggled to balance his personal and professional lives, frequently adjusting his career to protect his family’s privacy and normalcy. His journey offers a truly fresh perspective on a changing industry and a changing world. Beneath all the charm, talent, and self-deprecating humor, this memoir reveals an American icon who reached remarkable heights through authenticity.

A new printing of Last Gasp’s publication Struggle: The Art of Szukalski, with a foreword by George and Leonardo DiCaprio, presents an overview of Szukalski’s best sculpture and drawings.
Szukalski (1893-1987) was one of the great sculptors of the 20th Century.
Szukalski was a Polish-born sculptor, writer, graphic artist, and heretic. Highly regarded in both the US and Poland between the World Wars, he lapsed into obscurity, living and working in “America’s Cultural Siberia” (Southern California) until comic art collector Glenn Bray rediscovered him in 1973.
Struggle is the first critical view of Szukalski’s work published since 1923 — a 200-page overview of his art.
A new Netflix documentary produced by Leonardo DiCaprio is bringing greater interest and attention to one of the world’s greatest and least-known artists.
Struggle: The Life and Lost Art of Szukalski, tells the story of Stanislav Szukalski, an unparalleled artistic genius who lapsed into obscurity after WWII until comic art collector Glenn Bray rediscovered him in 1973.
Sceny wycięte z polskich filmów w okresie PRL-u obrosły legendą czegoś bezpowrotnie utraconego. Taśmy z takimi scenami niszczono, a jedyną po nich pozostałością były osobiste opowieści reżyserów, fragmenty scenopisów i dokumenty kolaudacyjne. Dopiero kilkanaście lat temu okazało się, że istnieje jednak pewien wizualny ślad, pozwalający pełniej wyobrazić sobie te utracone sekwencje: to niewykorzystane wcześniej fotosy filmowe, które fotosiści wykonywali na planie. Z wielu negatywów fotograficznych nie robiono nigdy odbitek, spoczywały przez lata w pudłach i dopiero proces skanowania tych materiałów klatka po klatce pozwolił teraz odkryć, że są tam również fotosy ilustrujące wycięte sceny. Autor Proszę to wyciąć analizuje najważniejsze polskie filmy pierwszego ćwierćwiecza PRL-u. Za punkt wyjścia bierze właśnie historię wyciętych z nich scen i próbuje odpowiedzieć na pytanie: jakimi filmami byłyby Pokolenie i Niewinni czarodzieje Andrzeja Wajdy, Nikt nie woła Kazimierza Kutza, Zezowate szczęście Andrzeja Munka czy Rejs Marka Piwowskiego, gdyby nie ingerencje cenzorskie? Jakie treści dobudowywały do tych filmów sceny, których usunięcie zostało autorom odgórnie narzucone? Zestawienie archiwalnych dokumentów produkcyjnych i cenzorskich z odkrytymi fotosami oraz wspomnieniami twórców pozwala najpełniej dziś odtworzyć nie tylko historię konkretnych scen wyciętych z filmów, ale także opisać cały skomplikowany proces ingerowania w dzieło filmowe na różnych etapach jego produkcji.
