A unique collaboration by two veteran recorders of the railway scene in words and pictures. Since 1967, David Joy has written over 50 books on railways and numerous aspects of the Yorkshire Dales. Gavin Morrison, one of Britain's most experienced railway photographers, has compiled more than 60 books and has gained the highest reputation for the quality of his work.They decided to celebrate four decades of working together in a book that is both informative and richly illustrated. Gavin first selected more than 150 of his favourite photographs depicting lines serving the Dales. David then wrote an evocative text emphasising how they have changed from the late 1950s through to the present day. The result is a nostalgic and evocative depiction of railways in a glorious corner of what has become known as 'God's Own County'.Coverage includes the legendary Settle to Carlisle railway, as well as many other lines ranging from forgotten branches in Nidderdale and Wensleydale through to electrified routes carrying commuters into the heart of Leeds. - Inbunden, Engelska, 2026

Donald Judd (1928–1994) was an American artist known for reductive forms and a strident rejection of imposed meanings. Though largely absent from art historical accounts of his life, Judd had a varied and complex relationship with Iceland, which started with his childhood fascination with the Icelandic sagas. After his first trip to the island in 1981, he returned to create an exhibition in Reykjavik and, through his visits, became familiar with a number of Icelandic artists. Judd developed a strong interest in Iceland’s vernacular architecture and his connection to the country touched on many areas of his creative thought: writing, architecture, landscape, art and politics. Accounts of Judd’s relationship to Iceland have persisted predominantly as an oral history among those who knew him on the island. Looking for Empty Land presents, for the first time, comprehensive research into Judd’s involvement with Iceland – developed through interviews with friends, former assistants, family and personal acquaintances as well as original archive research in Iceland and Marfa, Texas. The publication explores Judd’s appreciation of the interconnections seen in Iceland between literature, landscape and architecture, providing a lens through which to reappraise his activities in Marfa, which similarly brought together concerns of building and place.
