Thomas Van Den Driessche. How to be a .... photographer in four lessons.
Price: 19.50 EurosAn absolute masterpiece. Biting satire at its best.
Gustavo Aleman. (No) Soy de Aqui.
Price: 20 euros.A book of slightly incongruous photographs that perfectly captures the love/hate sense of attraction and rejection so many of us feel about the places we live.
Sergey Novikov. Belgian Beer.

Koji Kitagawa. Kyoiku.
Price: 1000 yenCute cartoon characters, bright colors and bold graphic design. What's not to like?
Marco van Duyvendijk and Xiaxiao Xu. Love Doll Factory.
Price: 17 euros.Parts of this come across as a plastic version of Bellmer's surrealist classic Die Puppe. In early 2012 photographers Marco van Duyvendijk and Xiaoxiao Xu visited the Ya Mei Plastic Factory; a small factory in Zhejiang province China that produces love dolls. Meant as a tribute to the factory and its workers, Love Doll Factory is a delightful little book, made in loveable pink colours and with a highly enjoyable soft touch cover.
And for those of you who think The Pigs should be on the list, a book with that much press coverage is not "overlooked."
