Lay Flat 02: Meta - Now Available (And In the Mail)  
Unlike the first volume (which was a small booklet with the equivalent of several large, unbound postcards), this one is a perfect bound, 8x10 size book (the first volume quickly sold out and a couple of enterprising buyers are trying to turn it around on eBay). No print on demand quality here, as this is a premium printed book. You can actually smell the ink on the page.
From the site:
Lay Flat 02: Meta brings together a selection of contemporary artists whose photographs are conceptually engaged with the history, conventions and materiality of the medium itself.

Textual contributions of Adam Bell (Co-editor, The Education of a Photographer), Lesley A. Martin (Publisher/Editor, Aperture Foundation), Alex Klein (Editor, Words Without Pictures), artists Noel Rodo-Vankeulen and Arthur Ou, as well a conversation between Lyle Rexer (Author, The Edge of Vision: The Rise of Abstraction in Photography) and James Welling, an artist who is seminal to this dialogue.
