Pretty special, maybe our favourite photography book. Very much deserves it's place in not only Parr/Badger, but also Roth and Berlotti. Curious photo essay into the erotic of the everyday. Very original, somewhat voyeuristic, and pretty fascinating stuff, Delfau's Dadaist text collages also very noteworthy. Considered to be the most wanted photography books of the 20th century.
