bernard faucon - les papiers qiu voulent. one of the strangest books I've ever seen.


if you haven't got a skinhead you're not coming in. new arrivals for April at www.november-books.com


Serge Lutens


Huge and amazing monograph from Shiseido art director Serge Lutens combining Mehndi, Commedia dell'Arte and Kabuki influences into an image of beauty and artifice quite like nothing else. Very new wave and very brilliant.

Boombox



Much more elusive than one would imagine- tribute to the much loved (and talked about) phenomenon of Boombox. Full of club kids, the usual faces, posers, queens and half of what used to be East London (R.I.P.). A rather charming portrait of a particular time and place.

Cleo Campert - Uit


Excellent book documenting nineties club culture. 'Cleo Campert was the official photographer of the famous RoXY club, which was burned down in 1999. The RoXY was the first club in Holland to play house music. Since the end of the 1980's she has taken photos of DJs and extatic partygoers at festivals, on the beach, at afterparties and illegal parties in Warehouses, in castles and in swimmingpools, on Ibiza and in the country.UIT is the definitive photobook of the effervescent party life of the 1990s.'
