Published books by photographers using the Pentax 67?

I am wondering if anyone would like to start an ongoing list here, of book titles, photographic books, made by photographers using the Pentax 67 & 67II? If you know some from memory, please post them here as an answer to this. In particular, books in which the bulk of the photographs are P67 derived, as opposed to a book of 125 pictures, in which only 2-3 or whatever were done with the P67.

The West Highland Way by David Paterson and Mike McQueen contains

around 90 photographs taken using Pentax 67 systems. This book is

about a long walk in the west of Scotland, from just north of Glasgow

to Fort William.

The photographs vary from good to outstanding, with some of the

mountain photographs, particularly those in Glencoe, being about the

best I have seen of that area.

They shared the photography equally and went back repeatedly to get

perfect lighting, mostly in winter and early spring.

Notes in the form of a diary are by David Paterson, but note this is

not a photographic book. What I mean is that there is almost no

information about the photography other that to say it is medium

format.

'Northumbria' by Lee Frost, Constable, UK. 1998 (ISBN 0094774102).

This book has a nice selection of landscapes from the English border

county of Northumberland. Nearly all were taken using the P67, bar a

few Fuji G617 panoramas in the intro and chapter headings. A book

called 'Dartmoor', by the same photographer, is also predominantly

P67 work. The author has also written a number of instructional

books which contain a high proportion of P67 work.

Glamour photographer Bill Lemon's newest book "Nude and Beauty

Photography: Techniques and Images in Black and White" contains all

professional photos of women models, artistically done, mostly with

the Pentax 67, I'd say about 90%, the rest are with a 35mm Nikon and

a Hasselblad 500.

Fashion photographer Sante D'Orazio uses the Pentax 67

primarily (and also a Canon Eos with 50mm lens). His books

include "A Private View" and "Sante D'Orazio Photographs." Tim

Ernst, who is mentioned above, has switched to digital. I bought

a Contax 645 camera from him last year.

In addition to books and articles using pictures taken by the 67II and the P67, and the 6x7 I'm also interested in those books or articles including discussions on techniques and tips specific to the three versions of the Pentax 67 cameras

This might not be the kind of book you were looking for ... BUT: Lee Frost's book "Photographer's Guide to Filters" is done with Nikon and Pentax gear. He is a big user of Pentaz 67, mostly 55mm and 45mm, I think, though there are many normal lens and 200mm shots. The book is from c2002, U.K., David and Charles publishers. This is, as it probably sounds, an educational-user's guide, as opposed to a coffee table sort of book.
