'Black Scabbard Research Centre' by Pedro Ramos

I know very little about this book and have purposely avoided finding out more for fear that dissection may destroy its charm. BSRC is a beautifully understated, zine-y production that delivers it's mysterious narrative with vital, rough edges. The images seem to come from a few different sources - aside from original photography - including video and maybe even newspaper clippings. I read somewhere that BSRC was photographed on the island of Madeira, which is apparently the only place you'll find the black scabbardfish, and where its author was born.

The format is A5, comprising 32 pages in an edition of 150 signed and numbered copies. It used to be available from Motto Distribution (10€) but I don't know if they have any left.
