Here is some info on the book :
Measuring 7" x 10" this is a high quality hessian bound hardback photo book by John Carder Bush - Kate's Brother
This was the first of a planned series of three books which were to feature photographs of Kate taken by John. John had been photographing Kate since she was a child, and his work in more recent years for her record covers is known worldwide. Unfortunately the remaining two books were never published.
Cathy ended up being the only book published and it gives a fascinating glimpse into the childhood of a young person who has grown into the remarkable and famous adult. As she poses for the photographs, often at times snatched after school, an image builds up of what this little girl's world was like. These innocent moments are linked with the thoughts and memories of her photographer-brother as he printed and prepared the pictures for publication. Cathy contains neither gossip nor scandal. It is a gentle, very personal view of childhood, and for those already familiar with Kate as a modern-day artist, it is a treasure-trove of echoes and evocations.
Great care and time have been taken in the design and presentation of this book. The result is a fine art Special Edition on hand-folded paper with duotone black-and-white photographs, hard backed and linen-bound, and protected in its own peach card slipcase.
This book is extremely rare as there was only a very limited number printed.
