Anton Corbijn Book of Tom Waits Portraits Coming in October

Dutch photographer/director Anton Corbijn is responsible for some of the most iconic portraits, album covers and music videos of the last 20 years. From The Joshua Tree cover to the "Heart-Shaped Box" video, Corbijn has more than left his mark on pop culture.

So consider our coffee tables cleared upon hearing the plan to release a book featuring the photographer's collaboration with one of our favorite living songwriters of all time (number four to be exact), Tom Waits.

Titled Waits/Corbijn, the book will be available Oct. 26 and will feature 160 pages, with 75 color and duotone plates. Having worked together for 30 years, the two will release the book of portraits featuring lyrics from major Waits albums.
