204pp. 50 col., 50 b.&w.

Hardback £25.00 Duffy’s most famous photograph dates from the 1970s and is the iconic and revolutionary cover of David Bowie's album Aladdin Sane, a shot that became the defining look of Bowie’s long career, and has been referred to as the Mona Lisa of pop. The photographer and the rock star collaborated on four other projects: Ziggy Stardust, The Man Who Fell to Earth, Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps) and Lodger. They worked together during the pivotal years of Bowie’s career.

Written by David Bowie’s biographer Kevin Cann, this book includes anecdotes and stories from those attending the shoots. Included are many unseen images and behind the scenes photographs.

1,800pp. 5,000 col.

3 volumes, hardback, slipcase £250.00

This three-volume book provides a definitive listing of known British-manufactured sealed bottles and detached seals and contributes a brief social and genealogical history on many of the examples where the original owner has been identified. It examines the evolution of the sealed bottle from the 1640s to the late 1800s and provides as accurate a description as possible against each entry, supported by numerous photographs, including the number of examples known, their condition, and the collections where the bottles and detached seals are held. It embraces history through the seal, the seal being the most important key for unlocking the identity of the original owner. If the eyes are the windows to the soul (Richard III (Act V, scene III) William Shakespeare), then the seal provides the window that can unlock its history.
