“Lavish… Amazing photos…in crystal-clear, black-and-white…show the band rehearsing, performing around the globe, playing squash, and enjoying life on the road… Pink Floyd fans will enjoy this handsome collection.”

“Devoted, across 160 LP-sized pages, to the black and white photography of one of Floyd's finest-ever chroniclers, Jill Furmanovsky…and further enlivened with posters, reviews and the relevant corners of the Hipgnosis artistic team's archive, the book captures the band both onstage and off… The photos are arranged in such a way that they could almost be a documentary… Shots of the audience are especially revealing — have you ever seen a crowd so rapt? They could almost be attending a lecture, so focussed are they all that is unfolding around them.”

“Another must-have item that comes in the box set but that can be purchased separately is the companion Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon 50th Anniversary book. The package is a beautiful, album-sized hardcover book, with a dust-jacket, published by one of the premier publishers of bespoke coffee-table books, Thames & Hudson.
The book is primarily comprised of the intimate, black & white photographs by Jill Furmanovsky of the group on tour in 1972, with the entire book designed by the esteemed Hipgnosis design team of Storm Thorgerson and Aubrey “Po” Powell. Almost all the photos are of the band before, during and after concerts from the tour, with many family, friends and their team also included. There are a tour itinerary, newspaper clippings, and a replication of the original album design and poster.”

“In 1981, photo historian Sexton came across a stash of beautiful gelatin silver prints of fruits, vegetables, and other plants at a London antiques market. The photos were the work of a local gardener, Charles Jones (1866-1959), produced around the beginning of the 20th century. Johnson contextualizes the photography and imparts what information he can about the man who 'left no notes or diaries to explain why he photographed the plants he saw every day.' This handsomely illustrated volume features a preface by writer and restaurateur Alice Waters.”

“[Charles Jones's] pictures are not only lush and nearly edible, they are surprisingly, severely modern in appearance-they resemble the work of Karl Blossfeldt, and anticipate that of Irving Penn. Do I need to mention that each specimen appears to represent the very apex of its species?”

“As a first-generation African American college graduate, I had very little knowledge of how to get started. Looking back at the notes I scribbled into its pages, I realize just how much of The Practical Handbook I have incorporated into my own teaching over the last 20 years. Margaret's books offered that practical guidance as well as how to see art making not just as a career, but a lifelong journey.”
— Edgar Arceneaux, Artist, Writer, Director and Professor
“Margaret Lazzari's Practical Handbook for the Emerging Artist is a treasure trove of concrete advice and information about getting an art career going.
