These Birds Walk: Kin Subscription Series
Thursday, March 27, 2008
If you’re unfamiliar with These Birds Walk’s “Kin Subscription Series,” as it’s called, you may want to take this opportunity to check it out. The series is comprised of four books, each from an individual photographer.
The current selection includes books from Paul Schiek (the publisher himself) as well as Ari Marcopoulos, Mike Brodie and Jim Goldberg. Subscriptions to the series, which deliver one book every three months for one year, are $75 or $150 for signed books. Quantities are limited to 300 unsigned subscriptions and 50 signed.
I haven’t seen the other books from the series, but the signed copy of Paul’s that I received as a gift from a friend is actually quite nice – printed and bound very inexpensively, but beautifully considered.
The next series of books looks very promising as well, as Paul has revealed that there will be some heavy hitters alongside some lesser known names: Alec Soth, Todd Hido, Marianne Muller and Abner Nolan. Those books are going into production in about a month according to Paul and pre-orders will be taken shortly after.
