'Twins', 96pp, cloth hardback, uncoated paper, 163mm x 210mm.
Picked as one of Buzzfeed's Best Photography Books from 2018. Also featured in the Guardian.
Peter Zelewski has spent years capturing the faces and stories of identical twins. Some inexplicably lost their hearing at the exact same time, others unlock each others’ phones with their indistinguishable fingerprints, but perhaps more surprisingly, some don’t get on. These powerful portraits tap into one of the most fascinating of all human relationships.
Peter Zelewski is a London-based portrait and documentary photographer. Born in Detroit, USA, he moved to London in the 1980s and studied at the London College of Communication (LCC). His portraiture concentrates primarily on the exploration of people, culture and urban life. Zelewski’s work has been featured in numerous publications, he has won several awards and been a prizewinner in the Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize. His previous book, People of London, was also published by Hoxton Mini Press.
With an introduction by Naomi and Alexandria Hewston (featured in the book).
This is the first edition.

For children growing up in Britain fifty or more years ago, streets and alleyways were playgrounds of curiosity and adventure. Nowadays, tempted by technology or restricted from being alone outside, ‘playing out’ is no longer the norm. These images from leading street photographers form a joyful, nostalgic record of past freedoms.
Includes work by 10 photographers: Shirley Baker, Tony Boxall, Robin Dale, John Gay, Henry Grant, Paul Kaye, David Lewis-Hodgson, Roger Mayne, Margaret Monck and Martin O'Neill.

This book is also available to buy as a Collector's Edition here.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Millions pass through the square mile, also known as the City of London, yet few are aware of its true significance. These photographs of people surrounded by the City’s imposing architecture, combined with texts from an acclaimed historian, begin to decode one of the most cryptic and fascinating parts of the capital.
Polly Braden is a documentary photographer whose work examines the relationship between people and the environment in which they find themselves. Capturing the small, often unconscious gestures of her subjects, Polly enjoys long-term collaborations that lend her photographs a unique, quiet intimacy. This is her fifth photography book.
David Kynaston has been a professional historian for over 40 years and written over 20 books including the widely acclaimed four-volume 'The City of London (1994-2001)'.
This is the first edition.

'An Opinionated Guide to East London' (Second edition). Text by Sonya Barber. Photography by Charlotte Schreiber, 144pp, paperback, blue foil, 161 x 112mm.
This is the second edition of our unashamedly biased, deeply opinionated guide to our local area. With over 20 new suggestions of where to eat, sleep, shop and drink (and some places taken out) this pocket-sized companion is the ultimate guide to the everchanging face of East London, filled with beautiful photography, pithy reviews and a neighbourhood map showing where each place of the 66 places is located. It’s a must for East London locals and first-time vistors alike.
Please note: this is an updated edition of our previous yellow guide book. It features over 20 new places but the majority of the content is the same.
