The third volume in an authoritative and comprehensive series, The Photobook: A History volume III provides a unique perspective on the story of contemporary photography through the genre of the photobook.

Continuing in the vein of the first two volumes, Volume III is a study of the major trends and movements that have shaped the photobook genre globally since the birth of photography in the early nineteenth century.

Volume III pays particular attention to photobooks published after World War II, covering contemporary themes of modern life, from diaristic photography of place and people to twentieth-century propaganda books and some of the finest works to emerge from the recent self-publishing boom.

The Photobook volumes represent a valuable catalogue of rare and important photobooks, and since Phaidon published Volume I in 2004, are now regarded by academics, students and photobook bibliophiles as the definitive works on this subject.

Martin Parr

Martin Parr is arguably Britain's key contemporary photographer, with a unique point of view and unmistakable signature, and with a critical and popular following in the spheres of art, fashion and journalism.

He has been widely published and internationally exhibited: he is very well known across Europe and becoming a major figure in the USA.

Books of his photographs include Bad Weather, The Cost of Living (1991), Small World (1995), The Last Resort Photographs of New Brighton (1997) and Think of England (2000).

His first Boring Postcards book for Phaidon (1999) was a massive success, both in England and around the world.
