"When Martin Parr's 'The Last Resort' was first published and exhibited in 1986 it divded both critics and audiences alike. Some saw it as the 'finest achievement to date' of colour photography in Britain whilst others viewed it as 'an abberation.' With the benefit of hindsight there is little doubt that it transformed documentary photography in Britain and placed Parr amongst the world's leading photographers. The book is now recognised as a 'classic' and is highly sought by collectors worldwide. Whilst this new edition keeps the same images and sequnce as the original, a new text has been commissioned from Gerry Badger."--Publisher's website.
