中文简介：

美国社会纪实摄影师Alec Soth于2015年在伦敦展开巡回展时，曾推出畅销盒装《收集叶子》；这一次，升级版的《收集叶子注释版》完整集结了五本代表摄影集，采用700多页新闻纸印刷，大幅重塑五本书中的每组跨页版面，并以注释、文字摘录和添辅照片的形式进行详细注释，为原版《收集叶子》注入崭新想象，书中还增添了艺术家的新介绍。

2004年Soth出版了首本摄影集《睡在密西西比河边》，记录了他沿着密西西比河的**次公路旅行，此后，这本书通过无数次印刷销售，被广泛认为是经典，Soth也一跃成为国际知名人士。Soth随后出版的《尼亚加拉》（2006年）、《破碎手册》（2010年）和《歌集》（2015年）也十分成功，阐述了他抒情而坚定的方法，巩固了他作为书籍形式大师的地位。他最近的作品 《一磅图片》 （2022 年）为美国生活的特质和图像制作实践带来了新的诗意视角，再次通过Soth独特的公路旅行形式展现。

英文简介：

Following on from the bestselling box set Gathered Leaves, published to accompany Alec Soth's touring exhibition which opened in London in 2015, this unique publication brings together five of Soth's major books in their entirety in a single, compact, and densely detailed volume. Across more than 700 pages of newsprint, Soth updates and reimagines the original version of Gathered Leaves by reproducing every spread from these five books with detailed annotations in the form of notes, text extracts, and additional photographs. This new roadmap through Soth's oeuvre also includes a new introduction by the artist.

Soth's meteoric rise to international acclaim began with his first book, Sleeping by the Mississippi (2004), an elegiac road trip down the ‘third coast' of the United States, which has since has sold through numerous print runs and is widely acknowledged as a classic. The success of his subsequent volumes Niagara (2006), Broken Manual (2010), and Songbook (2015) elaborated Soth's lyrical but unflinching approach and reinforced his position as a master of the book form. His most recent work, A Pound of Pictures (2022), brings a new, poetic perspective to the idiosyncrasies of American life and the practice of image-making, broached once again through Soth's now-distinctive road trip format.
