This book, co-published by GHOST, Pierrot le Fou and STET, presents the results of an unprecedented investigation into the recent history of the Portuguese photography book, as a resource for artistic and documentary creation and a point of convergence for collaboration between photographers, designers, writers and publishers.

The Spanish photography historian and curator Horacio Fernández is the author of the foreword, and the texts are signed by Catarina Rosendo, Emília Tavares, Filipe Figueiredo, Inês Fernandes, João Seguro, José Bértolo, José Luís Neves, Margarida Medeiros, Mário Moura, Miguel von Hafe Pérez, Sandra Vieira Jürgens, Sérgio Mah, Susana Lourenço Marques, Susana S. Martins and Tania Martuscelli, researchers and curators in the fields of visual arts, design and the history of photography.
