Buy new: $10.19 / Used from: $20.48 One of my favorite books ever but I do confess, I do love a good polaroid. Polaroids by and from some famous faces like Warhol but some others that I didn't know at all. I bought this book from Amazon for just 10 bucks. The best 10 bucks I've ever spent.

![]() | The Journey is the Destination: The Journals of Dan Eldon by Dan Eldon
Buy new: $23.10 / Used from: $9.83 A very special book by a man who literally took my breath away- Dan Eldon. His death was a tragedy but what remains is his life recorded in journals (17 in all) The pages are filled with collages and photographs he took of his family and friends. He lived most of his life in beloved Kenya, a short time in New York. I cried while reading it and was inspired!

![]() | The Griffin & Sabine Trilogy Boxed Set: Griffin & Sabine/Sabine's Notebook/The Golden Mean by Nick Bantock
Buy used from: $53.46 This series of books are my favorites of all time. I read these when I was younger. It is a love story mixed in with a bit of mystery. Two people, Griffin and Sabine, who write each other these letters and postcards. It's a visual treat; the art of Nick Bantock is nothing short of brilliant! THere is also something heavenly about opening letters and reading them.

![]() | The Secret Lives of Men and Women: A PostSecret Book by Frank Warren
Buy new: $15.83 / Used from: $11.92 I love mail art and was a huge fan of the website before Frank Warren came out with the books. It is a perfect book for a voyeur. To know someone's little dirty secret but also there is some great visual art with these postcards. Some postcards will break your heart,some will make you cry and some will do both oddly enough.

![]() | Wall and Piece by Banksy
Buy new: $15.61 / Used from: $9.37 One of my favorite contemporary graffiti artists, Banksy. His graffiti art around London can be called interesting, whimsical, many times controversial, but whatever you call it- it's brilliant. This book in particular shows his sense of humor as well.
People say graffiti is ugly, irresponsible and childish... but that's only if it's done properly.

![]() | Women Before 10 a.m.
Buy new: $22.76 / Used from: $5.64 There is something kind of human and a little sexy about seeing a woman in bed, waking up. Of course these are mostly amazingly gorgeous women of our time, many famous faces with traces of sleeping lines on their faces, smudged makeup or no makeup at all. Some photograhps have a interesting element like Demi Moore and her mother. Sean Penn had a great idea when he made this book.
