Beautiful and definitive Yamamoto work. Volume 1. is 'Talking to Myself' and Volume 2. is '1981-2002'. Yamamoto was personally involved in all stages of design and production, the first book is filled with sketches, stills, photographs, anecdotes. The second book is a rundown of 81-2002, lots of photographs, details etc. Contributions from Nick Knight, Peter Lindbergh, Craig McDean, Sheila Metzner, Sarah Moon, Paolo Roversi, David Sims, Max Vadukul, Inez Van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin amongst others. Nice text with Yamamoto and philosopher Kiyokazu Washida. Lovely and interesting book. This is the signed limited edition, not to be confused with the edition of 7000- the signed limited is presented in a special box, and accompanied by a beautiful Yamamoto lithograph. It is, of course also signed by Yamamoto. Incredible.
