New York: D.A.P.//La Fabrica , 2013. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover, 192 pages. Like new in publisher's shrink-wrap. America’s first female war correspondent, Margaret Bourke-White was also something of a media star, with the portrait of her decked out in flying gear, camera in hand, about to set off on a bombing raid, being a favorite pin-up among U.S. forces. Focusing on the work Bourke-White made in the 1930s and 40s in Czechoslovakia, Germany, Italy, the Soviet Union and the U.K., Moments in History presents 150 classic photographs alongside revelatory extracts from letters and publications in periodicals. Bourke-White traveled to the USSR when the first Five-Year Plan was being implemented; she documented the German invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941, and the Allied bombing of Germany.

NY: Scalo, 1997. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover. Black & white photographs of glamorous movie stars, 335 pages. Mostly shot in Monte Carlo. This is one of the most gorgeous collections of classic B&W Hollywood pictures published in a long time. Actually, "Hollywood" isn't exactly accurate, as the late Edward Quinn did most of his work in Europe; most of the photos were taken at Cannes (including, of course, the Cannes Film Festival) or on the Riviera in the 1950's and early 1960's. The book is a huge hardbound with most of the photos in full-page format, and the publishers cleverly printed the captions on a separate pullout (in multiple languages, withal!) so as not to take space away from the pictures.
