Peter Granser: Coney Island by Ted Cahill
For a totally unique look at quintessential Americana from the other side of the pond, take a look at Peter Granser's witty and stimulating color images in Coney Island. Grasner, generally interested themes surrounding societal taboos such as illness and aging, turned his sights toward the mythic New York beach/amusement park where he interprets the decline and survival of the American middle class over 100 pages of sobering and entertaining photos. Available from 25 Books for $35.
