Touchless Automatic Wonder
FILE Magazine... Touchless Automatic Wonder. "...a selection of work by Lewis Koch, contains images created over the last twenty years. The selected images highlight a pervasive theme in Koch's work since the 1970s: the idea of "found text" seen as eccentric voices in the everyday landscape."

Hi Andrew ,
As someone who has written about my work in the past, I thought you would be interested in knowing about the recent publication of Touchless Automatic Wonder, Found Text Photographs from the Real World (Borderland Books, distributed by UW Press) http://uwpress.wisc.edu/books/4762.htm, 112 pp, hardbound, 80 duotone illus.
The book reprises twenty-five years of my work in photography. Conceived of as a visual prose poem in design and pacing, the image sequence depicts “found text” as a curious, humorous, and sometimes cryptic presence in the everyday landscape. Touchless Automatic Wonder is the long-awaited revision, in book form, of my first web project, made at the invitation of the Fotografisk Center (Copenhagen), in 2001— http://www.photography.dk/online/Koch/00a.html .
Copies may be ordered through the usual suspects on the web or through your independent bookstore; if you would prefer a personally inscribed copy, I would be pleased to send you one directly ($45 retail, & $5 s/h).
Additionally, a limited edition of 50, including choice of one of five images (archival pigment print, signed, each limited to an edition of ten) from the book. See the attached pdf for specific images, or contact me for more information.
If you blog, twitter, chatter or otherwise engage in digressive rambles, I would consider it an honor if you would pass along information about the book to your friends, readers, correspondents, favorite local bookstore… If you are interested in reviewing the book please let me know and I can provide sample images if desired.
Regards,
Lewis
