Philippe Halsman's Jump Book

Phillipe Halsman, Philippe Halsman. ABRAMS, $14.95 (96pp) ISBN 978-0-8109-2338-6

A portrait photographer for Life magazine in the 1950s, Halsman asked many of his subjects to jump for his camera. Here are shots of 191 celebrities in the air, ranging from the Duke and Duchess of Windsor to John Steinbeck. This edition also includes previously unpublished shots, of Lucille Ball and Art Carney among others. A delightful exercise. (October)
