Lebensmittel.
MICHAEL SCHMIDT

Visual hooks, a trail of greens and a homogenised landscape make this the book to go to if you want to know exactly where your food comes from.

A Girl and Her Room.
RANIA MATAR

What goes into different girls' rooms. No assumptions are made in this excursion into teenage domesticity.

Sasha.
CLAUDINE DOURY

A delicate exploration into coming of age. Natural, organic and original in execution.

The Present.
PAUL GRAHAM

Paul Graham's latest adventure into making everything look ordinary - in an extraordinary kind of way.

The Altogether.
CHRIS COEKIN

Gatefolds, a 7 inch disc, trade union banners and a factory closing down are all part of the latest installment in Chris Coekin's exploration of the English. With The Altogether, Coekin hits new heights of invention and design.

Billy Monk.
BILLY MONK

Cape Town Nightlife in the 1960s. Drunk, louche and funny, Billy Monk has the best photographs of any publication this year.

A Possible Life.
BEN KREWINKEL

Another beautifully designed book where the pages need to be cut for the full perspective to be seen. It's an old trick, but wonderfully done. Thanks to the great design, this is a book where the whole forms substantially more than the parts.

Less Américains.
MISHKA HENNER

You can't mess with Robert Frank! Mishka Henner shows that you can.

(based on a true story).
DAVID ALAN HARVEY

One of the coolest books ever made. Truly interactive with a narrative that flicks through time, geography, character and theme, (based on a true story) is impeccably designed and thought out.

Live Through This.
TONY FOUHSE

Tony and Stephanie, Stephanie and Tony. Life meets death in Tony Fouhse's exploration of Stephanie's addiction and her attempts at recovery.
