I don't know of any of Franco's work published in books (at least books readily available in the US).

The meditation on our material world reduced and elevated, at first glance it(Bound series) conjures up concern and some worry but a second look reveal things that are carefully bound, what are this these things that were so lovingly bound? (I love knowing that I’ll never know, but I don’t know why). Fernell Franco’s Bound photographs are yelling and whispering about secrets in the form of sculpted shadows. Death and sex creeps their way into the Bound series in just the right (out the corner of your eye) amount. These three photographs are whole and completely satisfying.
