Los Angles publishers SYLVESTER & ORPHANOS, who previously specialized in literary limited-edition press books, printed and bound by hand, are introducing a new line of art and photography books. Their previous authors included Paul Bowles, John Cheever, Graham Greene, Christopher Isherwood, Joyce Carol Oates, Philip Roth, William Styron, John Updike, Tennessee Williams, Nobel laureates Nadine Gordimer, V.S. Naipaul, Odysseus Elytis, and many others.

Their first art book, TSAROUCHIS, THE FACE OF MODERN GREECE, was issued several years ago in a large illustrated folio with tributes to Greece's greatest modern artist, Yannis Tsarouchis, by twenty-five major international figures in the arts, including David Hockney, James Merrill, Sir Stephen Spender, John Updike, the photographers Henri Cartier-Bresson, Horst, Constantine Manos, and a full array of esteemed Greek authors, composers and artists - Mercouri, Elytis, Ritsos, Theodorakis, Hadjidaks, Xarhakos, Vangelis, Gavras, Cacoyannis, Dassin, Fassianos, Galanos, and others. The book was published in a limited edition, signed by all the contributors. Book designed by Yannis Tsarouchis. All cover art (for an outer case and two inner folios) was printed by serigraph. One folio contains all the texts and signed colophons and the other contains 36 mounted color prints.
