The Best Photobooks of the Year: Martin Parr takes his pick

Dalston Anatomy, by Lorenzo Vitturi, published by SPBH, JibiJana

Photographer and photobook expert Martin Parr selects the best titles published this year


What a total treat! Here we have all the classic iconic images from this wonderful photographer who died only last year. On top of that, Agnes Sire has dug up many unknown Larrains that are as good as the ones we know and love. To supplement all of this is a most elegant design from the excellent Xavier Barral with stunning printing. It doesn't get much better than this.
