AND HERE IT IS
August 19th, 2009 adminAfter two years of (mostly) hard graft, the end is finally in sight. I received the first bound copy of We English from the printers last week and the rest are in a container somewhere in Europe on their way to bookshops. It’s a strange feeling, one of relief (that’s it’s nearly all over), of jubilation (great to have a second book out there), of pleasure (I like it), of gratitude (too many people to mention – although a special shout to Mrs. R), of anxiety (will anyone like it?) and of anticipation (maybe they will!).
So here it is, the final edit of 56 photographs (you can see them all on the gallery page of this website):

You’ll notice that I’ve now updated the website with a couple of new pages detailing various exhibitions and book signings, as well as the special edition box set (more on that later). Do take a look.
Anyway, my job is nearly done (on this project at least). I hope you enjoy the work and I look forward to hearing your comments in the months to come. I will be continuing with the blog for a few more months so do stick around.

Congratulations Simon!
Thank you for sharing the final edit, the pictures look great!
Will some of the books from these containers find their way to french bookstores?

Thanks Mathilde. I’m not sure about bookstores (I hope it will be specialist photography bookshops) but it’s definitely on Amazon – http://www.amazon.fr/Simon-Roberts-We-English/dp/1905712146/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=english-books&qid=1250778779&sr=8-2

Was just about to look at the photos, saw the Skegness photo and realised I want to wait for the book!

Congratulations. Pleased you like the end result. Now I have to decide whether to sneak a look at the gallery (probably can’t resist it) or wait until I get a copy.
