Did you get the Larrain book from the US? The postal charges look high.

Sort of related to lockdown - on Amazon Prime there is the documentary "The Jazz Loft According to W Eugene Smith" This covers the years working in a loft recording Jazz musicians and photographing the street out the window. Worth a watch if just for the insight into Smith's obsessive nature.

Sorry Nick - read this and then got distracted and didn't reply...

No, I ordered the Larrain book on Abebooks from a UK seller.

I'm a big fan of the 'Jazz Loft project' in its many forms - fantastic and interesting doc, the 9 episode Podcast (free) - https://www.wnyc.org/shows/jazz-loft ; and the highly desirable book 'The Jazz Loft Project: Photographs and Tapes of W. Eugene Smith from 821 Sixth Avenue, 1957-1965'. If you see a copy available in UK - buy it. And look out for a future post on the book in this Newsletter.... :)
