[Leica] Family of Man

[Jayanand Govindaraj]

That is a very nice book that Alastair curated. I joined the LUG while
the project was in its final stages, too late to submit anything. I
have a copy of the book, though.

The lack of commercial interest is because it is always easier and
cheaper to produce something, but far more difficult and expensive to
market it effectively. We cannot turn up our nose at the game we are
required to play for our output to succeed within industries like
publishing and art, and in the same breath bemoan the fact that no one
notices our work. The world just does not work that way.

Cheers
Jayanand

Maybe if you have some contacts with The Guardian you can forward them this information, it is as well a great book and it is shame that nobody was interested in a commercial edition, actually is edited by Blurb:
