Bargain Books are non-returnable. Now available in paperback, Lauren Greenfield's acclaimed Fast Forward is a powerful look at Los Angeles youth culture and its influence on the rest of our society. From the affluent children of the Westside to the graffiti gangs and party crews of East LA, young Angelenos reckon with an overwhelming barrage of advertising and entertainment images emphasizing money, possessions, and eternal youth. This collection of 79 color photographs, accompanied by interviews with the children and their parents, reveals the realities of growing up fast in a culture that is at once irresistible and unforgiving. A compelling precursor to Greenfield's widely praised Girl Culture, Fast Forward is a telling document of the direction in which today's ultra image-conscious culture is pointed.

War reveals the true story of what our country has faced since that fateful Tuesday in 2001. Featuring 223 photographs, insightful vignettes and three thought-provoking major essays, War is a powerful collaborative effort from VII, a cutting-edge photo agency cooperatively owned by nine elite photojournalists. The three full-length essays, written by eminent journalists Peter Maass, Remy Ourdan and David Rieff, discuss the three major crises of the twenty-first century from a social, political and militaristic standpoint and further illuminate the powerful photographic images in War. The photographers of VII-Christopher Anderson, Alexandra Boulat, Lauren Greenfield, Ron Haviv, Gary Knight, Antonin Kratochvil, Christopher Morris, James Nachtwey and John Stanmeyer-are used to witnessing, up close and in person, events of international turmoil. That is the duty of a photojournalist-to bear witness and to document history-and few would dispute that these photojournalists are the world's very best. In addition to documenting the experience of 9/11, War takes an incisive look at the images from Afghanistan and the hunt for Osama bin Laden, as well as the airstrikes and US occupation of Iraq. In War, the photographers of VII have created a shockingly intimate portrait of US foreign policy and the most critical moments of American history in the beginning of the twenty-first century. What you see here will stun you. War has received the Picture of the Year Best Photography Book, the AIGA 50 Books/50 Covers Selected Book, the Photo District News Best Book Selection and the Independent Publisher Awards Best Current Events.

25 Under 25 showcases twenty-five of America’s most promising photographers, twenty-five years old and younger. Illuminating and sometimes startling, the collection introduces work by an emerging generation of photographers at the start of their careers. These talented artists’ exploration of the medium is surprisingly sophisticated and engaging—their approaches to the art include photojournalism, highly personal essays, art constructions, candid snaps, portraits, still lifes, and photographs with a message. 25 Under 25 is a window into the dreams, anxieties, and ambitions of these innovative young photographers, of whom we will be seeing much more in years to come. This vibrant collection reveals how these photographers are looking at the world and how they see themselves. Whether “straight photography” and documentary essays or highly personal and expressionistic stories, the work covers as broad a range of intriguing subjects and places as their titles suggest: “Dirt Track” (Andrew Rogers), “Cake and Hot Dogs” (Andreanna Lynn Seymore), “Working at Sloan” (Daniel Ramos), “Miss All-Star” (Colby Katz), “I Looked Like a Kid from Far Away” (Chana Warshauer-Baker), “Orphanage” (Misty Keasler), “Mother’s Unrealized Vacations” (Deirdre A. Scaggs), “Reason to Stare” (Hank Willis Thomas), “Postcards to Bangladesh” (Jason Goodman), “Between Monsoons” (Alex Ambrose), “After Midnight, Before Six A.M.” (Jen Moon), “Residue” (Isabelle Lutterodt), “Soviet Military Base, Former East Germany” (Brian McKee), “Harvard Works Because We Do” (Greg Halpern), “Broad Stripes, Bright Stars” (Kristin Posehn), “Under One Roof” (Jessica Ingram), “Abe” (Brett Myers), “Slight Apprehensions” (Laurel Ptak), “4th and Goal” (Kambui Olujimi), “Expressions of Self” (Justin Lively), “Spiritual Sites—A Caribbean Study” (Wyatt Gallery), “If I Could See Your Face I Would Not Need Food” (Eric Gottesman), “#36005-054” (Carrie Levy), “Lady Like” (Bayeté Ross-Smith), and “Girls’ School” (Laurel Nakadate).
