The first major collection of Martin Parr's colour work, edited by Mark Holborn. Beginning with the ideal home and family, the book follows a Parr-guided tour through supermarkets, shopping malls, seaside resorts, theme parks, tourist hotspots and safari parks. From Britain, Parr joins tourists at the Eiffel Tower and in Middle Eastern bazaars. By the time he reaches McDonald's in Moscow, the consumer culture he has depicted so unsparingly has stretched around the globe.
Introduction by Ian McEwan.
