Rob, I recently discovered Giacobetti's work ( Harry's library again) in a book on the first 25 years of the Pirelli calender. The stuff he did in the Seychelles has me speechless.
I also borrowed two books dealing with Lichfield's Unipart calenders- which I'm not so fond of. I constantly get a "too staged/ planned" feeling from his work.
Thank you again for the links to Sam Haskin's site, been spending the last week reading every bit on there- passed them on to Harry too.
Riaan,

After that, I sort of lost interest and motivation to care, and would certainly no longer buy a further update in book form. Given the choice of owning one again, it would be vintage ’72.
Perhaps a better series, after all, was the Pentax one which for a long time alternated between Sam Haskins and Hans Feurer.
