In Flagrante by Chris Killip (Paperback, 1998) - ISBN: 0436233568 | eBay

A paperback copy of In Flagrante, a collection of fifty bleak but beautiful photographs taken in the North East of England in the 70s and 80s - when the region's great industrial history was being eroded - by renowned photographer Chris Killip, featuring an essay by John Berger and Sylvia Grant. The book is in good condition. There is some very minimal discoloration to the covers and a little shelf wear, which I've tried my best to highlight in the pictures of the item. Internally, the pages are all very clean with no marks or creases, and the spine and binding are in excellent shape.
