IDEA home How do I buy these books?

VERY LIKELY YOU ARE

SEEING THE COVER BELOW

FOR THE FIRST TIME. IBIZA

MAGAZINWAS PUBLISHED IN

1981. THESE FIRST TWO

ISSUES ARE ALL WE HAVE

FOUND. THERE IS NOTHING

ON THE INTERNET ABOUT IT.

THIS COVER WILL DEBUT ON

GOOGLE TODAY. HISTORY IN

THE MAKING.

Interplanetary. This is the cover of the second issue of the exceptionally rare and off

the scale excellent Ibiza Magazin. Published on the island in 1981. We know there

were two issues because we have them here. Other than that. Nada.

Less words in this week's superbook email. The pictures are too good. This page

'Juke Box Girl Ibiza' is an ad for Dora Herbst's boutique on Calle de la Virgen. The

model is Maria and the photographer is the art director and co-editor of themagazine. His name is Marc Stuka.

The photograph above by Marc Stuka. The dashed line tracing the line of sight from

their eyes - also Marc Stuka. This discovery of world class talent the world has

forgotten has happened to us before. It is reminiscent of Steve Lawrence and Picture

Newspaper.

The cover of the first issue. Dietrich, "elmut Newton", Hochspannung! (High Voltage!)

- all showing the German influence on this magazine, of course, but also on the

culture of Ibiza. Cover artist was not German, mind, but Japanese - the great

Harumi.*

We would be all of them. Obviously top left first and second from far right second...

maybe not top right... but he'd be a hilarious Duckie from Pretty in Pink friend to

have! These issues are full of pages like this. See more on these superlinks; issue

one and issue two.

Right hand - one of the great magazine pages of all time. Left hand - inexplicable

(other than that if you had been putting a magazine together and been promised an

ad and it just doesn't turn up and there is a print deadline and have xeroxed one of

the white horses of the Camargue a few times over).. no, still doesn't make sense!

AND BECAUSE SOMETIMESWE JUST WANT TO OVER-

IMPRESS EVERYONE, HERE

IS THIS WEEK'S SECOND

STRAIGHT UP SUPERBOOK!

We can't begin to tell you how good this is. It is already the best book of all time from

the cover alone. As far as books go, this is a spaceship!

I FEEL Like THESE Are So EXPENSIVE But I Have To ASK

We would go as far as to say that this may be the single best photograph by an

unknown photographer of two unknown people ever. Attach a photographer's name

to it - Shore, Meyerowitz, Friedlander - and it would be in the Museum of Modern Art.

Absolutely impossibly good.

And more. To prove it is not just a one hit picture wonder book. The above for the

hair style. The below for the stripes.

And the Bacterio print borrowed from Sottsass for the art direction... how good do

you think this slideshow link is going to be?

SHOCK! ONLY 1.1MILLION

LEAST A BILLION! BUT DON'T

WORRY - THE BOOKS ARE

GETTING EXPONENTIALLY

BETTER!
