To quote Thorgerson, "I like photography because it is a reality medium, unlike drawing which is unreal. I like to mess with reality ... to bend reality. Some of my works beg the question of is it real or not?" Over the years, Thorgerson and his team designed and released several books about their work. The first, published in 1989, was titled ''Classic Album Covers of 60s''. ''The Gathering Storm – A Quartet in Several Parts'' was the final book Thorgerson worked on with his team and it was completed just before his death in April 2013.
