Left London, William Eckersley & Alexander Shields, £25.00. This book, containing 170 pages of photographs, was inspired by Shields's master course in graphic design at Central St Martins. As part of his studies he became interested in London's abandoned buidings. After accumulating a large number of photos, the idea of documenting this rarely seen side of city life began to take on a life of its own. In the months that followed, the pair took over twenty thousand photos and visited more than a hundred sites across the capital. From this vast amount of material emerged the catagories into which the book is divided - Industry, Transport, Health and Leisure - reflecting a pattern of abandonment and decay that extends from the centre of London to the periphery.
