Book updates

Walking pictures from Scarborough taken in the 1920s and 1930s

Our designer took a bit of a busman’s holiday over the Christmas period, and got to grips with Go Home On A Postcard, the delayed Walking Picture Photography book. This has been on hold for a time due to pressures of other projects but the publisher did not want it slipping beyond 2022. The work involved the designer reconnecting with the page layouts and recent software updates, but went well. Although the work over-ran into early January, it does mean that the book is now fully laid out and except for any exceptional new discoveries the layout is fixed. All the captions have been added and checked, and we we had to make a few difficult picture choices (there are far more images than could possibly be included and a couple of our favourites fell at the last hurdle) to arrive at a final page count. Once done, this meant all the pages could at last be numbered, which took three days, due to a design idea to base them on negative reference numbers from the old prints (instead of using the layout software option which would have done it in two minutes)!
The book now moves into the stage of preparing it technically for print after which we should be able to announce a likely publication date. The publishers have also now added updated sample pages on their site and more will follow. The spread above gives a really good idea of the final look.

NOTE • It is our intention to offer the title at a pre-publication price through this site so people can get this at a bit of a discount ahead of anyone else. The publishers are also be preparing a mailing list to update everyone who has contributed material to the project as they will also be offered a discount. However to be sure of getting on this list, as some emails details we have may now be out of date, it is recommended that you join via the publisher’s website using the link below.
