VERMONT—An Insider’s Outside View is a visual and narrative portrait of the people and landscapes of Vermont, a project he developed over four and a half years. The book was shortlisted for the 2016 International Rubery Book Award (UK), won the 2017 Independent Publisher Book Award Gold Medal for U.S. Northeast Non-Fiction, and received the 2016 Independent Publishers of New England Book Award.

Edwards newest book, My Mannequin Moment, expands on his acclaimed photographic series exploring the disconnect between artificial perfection and authentic self. Through carefully staged tableaux of mannequins and humans, Rubin invites viewers to confront the ideals we project and the truths we often suppress. The book features critical essays by art historians Betty Brown and Peter Frank, and was spotlighted at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books.
