From Taschen 
"Almost as enormous as its subject is influential, the original SUMO is an homage to the astounding photographer Helmut Newton.
Edited by June Newton, supported with a Philippe Starck bookstand, and containing over 400 images, it covers every aspect of Newton’s outstanding career, chronicling his groundbreaking fashion photography, definitive nudes, and celebrity portraiture."
