Just in time for Christmas 2008 comes Andreas Schmidt's fifth book in his artist book series.
Aptly titled "Number 5", it contains 27 photographs taken by Andreas Schmidt of every perfume advertisement in strict order of appearance, as seen in the December 2008 issue of British Vogue.
Limited to 100 copies only, even Santa will want to keep one.
