After a pre-posting check with our veritable leader I thought I would make a post here on APUG about my work to have Stieglitz's Camera Work reprinted.
Well, the time has finally come and the first 4 issues are being offered to the public!
Just to give you a more detailed description of what I'm doing: I was able to gather a set of all 50 issues on loan and am in the process of scanning the issues and creating a digital master set to be uploaded to
http://www.lulu.com for reprinting. With the availability of books with high quality (well, offset) reproductions of the illustrations
Seen here:
http://www.amazon.com/Alfred-Stiegli...1005436&sr=8-1 http://www.amazon.com/Camera-Works-A...1005436&sr=8-2
my main concern is the text (though every page in the original is accounted for!), so the books are being printed in b&w to keep the costs down. They will be released in volumes of ~300 pages (which is 3-4 issues depending on individual issue length) with a cost of $19.99/volume.
I am asking you to spend a little bit of money and invest the time to read Stieglitz's
Camera Work: Issues 1-4
If you have any questions feel free to ask them here or PM or email me privately. As all of the issues pre-date 1923 there is no copyright infringement as it is not copyrighted material, it is in the public domain (this fact was cross-checked with the Library of Congress).
