They began as postcards, a pictorial narrative of the America of the Vietnam era. 100 Boots by performance artist Eleanor Antin (Running Press, £12.99) is a compilation of the 51 photographs of the boots on the beach, going to church, at the supermarket, at a job (detail above), and going to war. Their final resting place was New York's Museum of Modern Art.
