Shanghai: A History in Photographs, 1842-Today

Though it came out briefly to coincide with the EXPO this collection of beautiful pictures trace the history of Shanghai to the present day – of course it’s the older stuff that interests me and while there are many old familiars among the images there are some startling new ones too. I confess an interest as I was asked to contribute a foreword to the book which I think is quite good (even if I do say so myself!). Anyway, now EXPO is over the book is more widely available via bookshops and the usual channels now or from Penguin here.
