First published in 1968, The Bikeriders explores firsthand the stories and characters of the Chicago Outlaws Motorcycle Club. The journal-size title features original black-and-white photographs and transcribed interviews made from 1963 to 1967, when Danny Lyon was a member of the Outlaws gang. Authentic, personal, and uncompromising, Lyon's depiction of individuals on the outskirts of society offers a gritty yet humanistic view that subverts the commercialized image of Americana. Akin to the documentary style of 1960s-era New Journalism, made famous by writers such as Joan Didion, Hunter S. Thompson, and Tom Wolfe, Lyon's work, like theirs, demonstrates humanitarian interests, advocacy, and "saturation reporting." The importance of his work and our interest in the subject is reinforced by Lyon's immersion in his subject.
This limited edition, facsimile photobook by American photographer Danny Lyon is a unique and intimate portrait of China and its people. Lyon's unparalleled photographic findings and discoveries are presented alongside his travel ephemera, personal annotations and his ever-inquisitive and non-judgmental prose. Lyon is one of America's most original and influential documentary photographers. With the United States his usual subject, Lyon's travels in China represent a radical and exciting departure as well as an important record of a cultural region that is fast disappearing. Each book is signed and numbered by Lyon.

The Seventh Dog is a new monograph/photobook by American photographer Danny Lyon. Organised chronologically, this artist's book tells the story of Danny Lyon's 50-year-career as one of America's most original and influential documentary photographers. Groundbreaking as a photobook in itself, Lyon tells this story starting in the present day and going back in time to the beginning of his career in the 1960s when he photographed the American civil rights movement and the Chicago bikeriders. Through text and image - colour and b&w photographs, original photo collages, letters and other ephemera (many published here for the first time), and Lyon's own writings - this is a story of Danny Lyon's personal journey as a photographer - a story about photojournalism, the move from film to digital photography, about Lyon's life and quest as a photographer, and of America.
