Bedrock City

Todd Oldham
Visionary designer Todd Oldham photographs the animated oasis of The Flintstone’s Bedrock City. Conceived as a tourist attraction, Bedrock City is a fanatical replication of Fred, Wilma, Barney and Betty’s hometown. Michael Graves reflects on Oldham’s vivid photographs that capture the spirit, wit and folly of this unique and wholeheartedly American space. Ammo Books. ISBN 9781934429013. Paperback. $35.

About books@manic distribution

We import and distribute books on contemporary culture, specialising in architecture, art and design. We have always sought to make available books that fall outside of the scope of the mainstream publishing industry in Australia and place them in the right bookshops.

publishers

Our publishers are from Europe, Asia and the USA. Some have an extensive publishing program, others only publish two or three titles a year but between them they put out some of the most interesting and exactingly edited and designed books in their fields. Each publisher has a unique vision and style, but they all fit together to make a coherent range of books.

retail outlets

In the words of our publisher Lars Muller, “(our) books are more than books. They are objects and need to be present in reality. You have to smell them, touch them and feel their weight in your hand. So go to a bookseller near you and do just that, it’s worth it.” Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Hobart, Launceston, Melbourne, Perth, Sydney, New Zealand.
