Help me get my hands on Trent Parke. I mean, his photo books.

June 24, 2008 10:52 AM

It's driving me mental. I *must* get Trent Parke's "Dream/Life" and "The Seventh Wave" photo books. They are nowhere for sale. Or are they?

Please MeFi, tell me you know how to help me get my hands on these... Pretty please?

Ouch indeed - but I think you can make an offer to the seller?

Best answer: Even with shipping, it's cheaper here, though still not really cheap. Found via bookfinder.

Also, I was able to get Dream/Life through interlibrary loan a couple years ago.

Response by poster: And no Dream/Life to be found. Snif.

rbs, love to take you up on that, but I'm over on the other side of the sea :)

I have a Fine Signed copy of a 1st edition/1st printing Hardback which has been signed by Trent Parke. I am open to offers if you are still looking for a copy.
