Popped into Dawn Treader books on Sunday to check out photography books. Found this title by Graham Rawle and started reading it, could not put it down so wound up buying it and finished it the same day. Its not really about photography directly - its a mystery novel. But in a rather cynical and backhanded way it really describes the amateur photography scene. The PBase crowd my be offended to read it, but on the other hand given the oblique nature of the jokes they might never get it. Its an interesting book not just for the story but for the creative way its put together to look like a real diary complete with pasted in scraps from magazines, hand notes and all. The final answer to the mystery is in a separate envelope pasted to the back cover.
