Steidl is yet to reveal a third incarnation of Alec Soth‘s Sleeping by the Missisippi and the potential designs (above) look very promising.
While I never got my hands on the first edition – a huge mistake for the “book collector” in me as a signed copy is now selling for $1,500 – I do have a signed copy of the second edition on my shelf but have always been unimpressed with the feel of the book compared to the previous edition, in part because I’m a lover of cloth covers. This new edition, however, seems to have it all.
If you’re interested, you can pre-order a copy for yourself here or get it directly through Steidl. I believe it’s set to arrive in June.
