Two awesome new books from Andrew Zuckerman are coming out, "Bird" & "Creature ABC." I got the original Creature book for my little nephew and I looked at that book about 100 times before I gave it away. Maybe I'll have to get the "Creature ABC" for my brand new little niece. Check out all the details below.
This is the sequel to photographer Andrew Zuckerman's run-away success "Creature", a book full of astonishing studio portraits of animals. In this new book, Zuckerman turns his camera lens upon winged creatures, shooting them against his trademark white background to allow the diversity and complexity of color and texture to shine. Containing more than 200 photographs of nearly 75 different bird species from Swallows to endangered Penguins, each bird is depicted with rare sensitivity, insight, humour, and wonder. Like "Creature", this book is perfect for animal lovers, orinthologists, photography fans, and anyone interested in the natural world. "Bird" is delightful and thought provoking, offering a glimpse of the most flighty members of the animal kingdom. Pre-Order from Amazon.
Creature ABC -- An elegant addition to any library, this deluxe alphabet book features 120 pages of Andrew Zuckerman's breathtaking wildlife photography. From alligator to zebra, each featured animal boasts two striking studio portraits against a clean white background, offering a unique up-close view of the animal kingdom. Readers can flip to a helpful glossary in the back for extra information. From the sleek beauty of a smiling hippo to the powerful majesty of a roaring lion, this gorgeous new book is both a stunning work of art and a ferociously fun way for young animal-lovers to learn their ABCs. Pre-order from chroniclebooks.com.

Oli from olimax.com shot me an interesting email today about Alphabet Shoot. What is Alphabet Shoot you ask, well on the 31st of August 2008 about 60 individuals gathered at The Victoria, Mornington Terrace, London to have their portraits taken, based on letters of the alphabet. All this was accomplished over the course of one splendid Sunday afternoon. Seems like a fun little project, you can check out all of the artwork from the book over at olipix.com, enjoy.
Who remembers pop-up books, I sure as hell do. It was always a fun surprise when something moved inside a book that shouldn't be. But my pop-up books were no where near as cool as these, seriously that shark looks like it could eat your face.
