Kate

Kate Moss took the fashion world by storm in the infamous Calvin Klein Obsession campaign. Just before that meteoric rise, Moss was photographed by her then-boyfriend Mario Sorrenti in a series of intimate portraits that sparked her ascent in the early 1990s. The never-before-published photos celebrate the start of Moss' career, reproduced in tritone and presented in a cloth-covered clamshell box. Each hardbound book includes tipped-on images as well as an introductory essay by the photographer.

Every copy of The Impossible Collection is hand-bound with color plates that are hand-tipped on each page of art-quality paper. It's then packaged in a handsome black rubber clamshell box with a cutout metal plate.

Wood

From William Hall, the author of Concrete and Brick, comes the aptly titled Wood, a look at the world's most celebrated timber architecture. Featuring 170 structures from the last 1,000 years, Wood is organized into themes like Texture, Light, and Juxtaposition. The latter of which is arranged to promote comparison and discussion, taking readers on a global tour of different projects — like an onion-domed Russian church that sits next to a fortified Japanese castle. Each project is highlighted with outstanding photography and an extended caption for commentary about each structure. Hall provides an original look at one of the most versatile and storied building materials on earth.
