Susannah Heron / Bodyworks / 1980
For those of you that don't know, Heron made perspex jewellery in the 70s and early 80s, rather like a new wave Tatty Devine, and it's pretty amazing stuff. Stocked by Swanky modes amongst others at the time and now somewhat forgotten.

Tim Walker Pictures
Looking at Cecil Beaton's Scrapbook the other week reminded me of this- Tim Walker's Pictures. It's an easy one to get and it is brilliant! (it's also massive) It is more scrapbook-ish than a showcase of editorials, but there are quite a few, so it's a good one for the familiar or the uninitiated. Tip!

Rockers Style
Great book full of photographs taken on set and around 70's Kingston during the filming of the cult 'Rockers'. Surely by accident the father of countless style source books. Tip!

Stephen Willats / Doppelganger
Wonderful little project from Willats- where he takes 3 people, and builds a portait of them through the objects around them and places they go. It's a super book, and a deceptively simple cultural artefact.
