FROM SUNBEAMS TO SUNSET The Rise And Fall of the Australian Comic Book 1924-1965
Highly Recommended. By Graeme Cliffe. John Dixon and Stanley Pitt. These two brilliant artists are just about the extent of what I know about Austrialian comics. Until this book, that is. Beginning in the 1930s, and with an entire history of its own in the 1940s and 1950s, discover not only covers of more than two hundred comics you've probably never seen, but also quotes from the comic books themselves, and biographies of the artists, writers and publishers. A fourteen page index covers more than 2500 topics. It's the most detailed examination of Australian comic books ever. Nat Karmichael, 2019...More.

Mature Readers

Two photography books this week. First up is Selected Works by Vincent Peters. His photographs "are defined by their precision, love of detail, and an exquisite lighting that lifts his images beyond fast-moving trends into something timeless and iconic. With an aesthetic reminiscent of Jeanloup Sieff or Herb Ritts." This is not all adult images, but covers the spectrum of photography.

And second is #SENDNUDES by Iman Whitfield. A carefully curated book of nude photography. "In collaboration with Iman Whitfield, MENDO reached out to photographers all over the world and asked them to send their favorite shots of female sensuality and intimacy. The result is a visually stunning photo collection approaching erotic photography from a female point of view, celebrating the diversity of female beauty and body confidence, and teasing the delicate line between that which is revealed and that which remains private."
