'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.

Book 3 in the series 'Vintage Britain'
As featured in the Guardian.
When Shirley Baker began taking photographs at dog shows in the 1960s the hairdos of the owners were more impressive than those of their groomed canines. Not only a fascinating portrait of the phenomenon, Dog Show also captures the tender, amusing and at times obsessive relationship between humans and their dogs.
Shirley Baker (1932–2014) was a British social documentary photographer known for her street photographs of working-class areas of Manchester taken in the 1960s and ’70s. Her acute observation and artistic eye can be seen throughout her work, which has been exhibited in the UK and around the world.
