ALICE + DALI

We've just stumbled upon this incredible set of illustrations from Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland by none other than surrealist genius Salvador Dali. 

The limited run was offered to the Random House Book of the Month Club readers in 1969, and yes, the Mad Hatter's tea party includes a picture of a melted clock (4th picture down).

Check out this video below for a full flick through the prints; this is one book we'd definitely like to get our hands on.

MOTHER, BROTHER, LOVER

Jarvis Cocker has a new book of lyrics out this week, entitled Mother, Brother, Lover. To celebrate its release, the Brit folk-pop-rocker made a little short film where he traces his steps back to where it all began: Cocker's secondary school in Sheffield, which he attended in the 1970s, and is coincidentally also where Pulp played their first gig. Ah, bless.

ABERRANT NECROPOLIS

We have long been fans of analogue fashion photographer Ellen Rogers. Her work captures a timeless dream world, filled with equal measures of darkness and seduction. 

Rogers shoots for the likes of Dazed, i-D and Tank on a regular basis and has developed an impressive body of work, which is now assembled into a beautiful 80-page hardback book. Containing 72 photographs, Aberrant Necropolis is out now for £45, and you can buy it here.

ANY DAY NOW

Any fan of Bowie's might want to read on. Author Kevin Cann has put together an in-depth & highly visual chronology charting the rise of one of the most iconic artists of our time, David Bowie. 

Entitled Any Day Now, the book captures the singer's life from his birth in London in 1947, to the height of his success in 1974 with the release of Diamond Dogs, and his subsequent departure from the UK. The paperback version is £24.99, you can buy it from here, and feel free to get us one too, thanks.
