The catalogue lists over 150 critically acclaimed titles including "D’après nature" by Jean Gaumy, "Vers l’Orient" by Marc Riboud (2012) and "So Long China" by Patrick Zachmann (2016), recipients of The Nadar Prize, as well as "Anticorps" by Antoine d’Agata, winner of the Rencontres d'Arles Festival 2013 Author Book Award.
