Helmut Newton's Sumo, a retrospective of Australian photographer Helmut Newton's work, retails at $1,500 (£1,000) for a first edition hardcover.
Published by Taschen-Verlag, the book contains 400 photographs over its 480 pages. The publication, which weighs 30 kg (66 lb) and measures 50.8 cm (20 in.) by 71 cm (28 in), is so large that it needs its own stand.
