The ‘Photography’ sections of second-hand bookshops are usually confined to just a couple of shelves.

But it never ceases to amaze me what can be purchased for just a few pounds.

So you can imagine my excitement when a pre-Christmas explore of the wonderfully-named (and wonderful) ‘Slightly Foxed’ in Berwick upon Tweed yielded this title.

Not only that, but there was a choice of copies as two had found their way to the shop.

As a former newspaper journalist and someone interested in the history of press photography, I’m looking forward to curling up with my newly-acquired purchase.
