Books: Unfamiliar Journeys Continued
Unfamiliar Journeys Continued is a book of photographs - with commentary by Matthew Whitfield - that explores Liverpool's architectural adventures of the last decade. It was published in 2008 and recently, Matthew's written to us to say:
Alan McKernan's photographs are really quite stunning, and it was a real pleasure to work alongside him in selecting images that reflected both the exhilarating change and ongoing inertia in a unique place. It's been published for slightly over a year, but as the 2008 launch at Tate Liverpool consisted of little more than an incoherent, sweaty-palmed speech from me followed by a rapid retreat to the comfort of the breadsticks and an impressive range of dips, I thought a fresh marketing push was more than justified. Tis the season to buy quite pricey, but beautifully glossy, books for those you love and admire the most.
We'd like to help Matthew in his new marketing push, and can tell you that the book is available from all the usual online outlets, and also in the real world: you can find it in both branches of Waterstones in Liverpool and the Deansgate branch in Manchester.
