‘Travel Guide of the Year’ at the Prague Book Fair
Where can you find monsters in Trafalgar Square? Whatever happened to Bedlam? Where can you praise God, buy meatballs and have a sauna? What’s in the House of Dreams? To which secret society does Prince Charles belong? What’s the trick to instant weight loss? Secret London, An Unusual Guide is the original and still the best of all the many alternative London guides: accept no imitation. Authors Rachel Howard and Bill Nash have prowled the city streets, seeking out the hidden, eccentric and overlooked. Now the definitive insider’s guide to London has been fully updated, with over 40 new entries and a brand new look. Far from the crowds and the usual clichés, London still reserves any number of hidden treasures for those who know how to wander off the beaten track.
2 2 • “SECRET” GUIDES
Rachel Howard is a journalist and copywriter who has lived in almost every borough in London. A regular contributor to Conde Nast Traveller, National Geographic Traveler, and The Guardian, Rachel writes mainly about travel, food, and the arts. She previously spent a decade writing speeches for the Greek foreign minister. But that’s another story. Bill Nash is an actor and writer, with family roots all across London. An obsession with the city’s corners is the foundation for his contribution to this book. He lives in Brixton with his family and an ineffective cat.
“The best guide to alternative London ever. An essential purchase.” (The Londonist.com) “A fascinating London guidebook. Simply brilliant.” (The travel editor.com) “The most interesting guidebook I have had the chance to pick up in years.” (Globalista) “An insider’s look at some of London’s best-kept little secrets.” (MSN Travel) “A wonderful book.” (Glen Baxter)

Discover for yourself the haunts of slave traders, privateers and press-gangs, the hideaway of a suspected assassin and the desecrated grave of a self-professed Jack the Ripper. Track down the birthplace of rail travel and Britain’s earliest mosque. Marvel at a life-size replica of the world’s first submarine and the original home of the Epsom Derby. Be gobsmacked by burial stones older than Stonehenge and one of the earliest human settlements to be found anywhere in the UK. Grimace at a set of heroic dentures all the way from the battlefields of Waterloo and snigger at the sight of Queen Victoria’s dildo. Meet trees that talk, World War II’s best-kept secret and the world’s first (and smallest) skyscraper. Toast the UK’s greatest female athlete in a brew named in her honour or go for a spin on the only purpose-built F1 race track in the country … For tourists and locals who have outgrown Hop on–Hop off bus excursions, river cruises and Beatles tours,
Secret Liverpool - An unusual guide is an indispensable guide to the curiosities of “England’s finest Victorian city”, designed for people who prefer to customise their own itinerary or simply wander where the mood takes them

Soul of Los Angeles was written by Emilien Crespo, a writer and entrepreneur that has lived and explored Los Angeles for a decade. He carefully picked the gems that make him love Los Angeles. To bring them to life, he worked with two immigrant residents, the Spanish photographer Pia Riverola and the French illustrator Clara Mari.

These outstanding photographic reports aim to draw attention to the often dramatic fate of a country’s abandoned heritage and its frequently forgotten beauty. The locations featured all have their own stories to tell, in a variety of voices, but with one shared theme: the fall from grace.

Barren red deserts dotted with post-colonial ghost towns, dilapidated inner city factories, discarded country homesteads and a succession of dormant, soot-filled power stations are just a handful of the desolate, yet visually rich narratives that form part of the abandoned Australian landscape. Digging beneath the sun-baked soil, Shane Thoms uncovers the modern ruins scattered over this arid continent and reveals a series of beautifully broken abodes hiding in the crevices of the Great Southern Land. Whispering of both long-gone happy family moments and human darkness, of working lives and the everyday pursuits of living, these atmospheric scenes allow us to reconstruct the stories of the past. Prompting conversations about a growing, diverse country with a complicated history, these abandoned places both connect as well as contrast the past and the present and chronicle the hidden remnants of the evolving Australian story.

Veteran photographer Simon Edelstein has spent 12 years travelling the world – the USA, France, Italy, India, Morocco and Cuba – in search of abandoned cinemas. Visiting far-flung cities in more than 30 countries, he discovered forgotten buildings whose timeworn façades still hint of their former glory. These once-proud movie palaces, languishing under decades of dust, are far removed from their classic role as magnets for Saturday night crowds. With his skilful focus on their aging façades, entrances and interiors, Edelstein brings these cinemas – and their splendid archaeological histories – back to life. This book is a tribute to reminders of the golden age of movie theatres the world over, now silent but not forgotten. 4 2 • PHOTO BOOKS

In the early 20th century, the streets of small towns and cities across America were filled with the lights and sounds of movie theaters. The most opulent – known as “movie palaces” – were designed to make their patrons feel like royalty; people would dress up to visit. But as time went on, it became harder and harder to fill the 2,000+ seat theaters and many were forced to close. Today, these palaces are illuminated only by the flicker of dying lights. The sound of water dripping from holes in the ceiling echoes through the auditoriums. In After the Final Curtain: America’s Abandoned Theaters, internationally-renowned photographer Matt Lambros continues his travels across the United States, documenting these once elegant buildings. From the supposedly haunted Pacific Warner Theatre in Los Angeles to the Orpheum Theatre in New Bedford, MA – which opened the same day the Titanic sank – Lambros pulls back the curtain to reveal what is left, giving these palaces a chance to shine again.

“The eerie but stunning photos show the dilapidated buildings, decaying paint and crumbling architecture – and it’s hard to believe these venues were once places of glamour and grandeur.”

The Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan was created by the Soviets in the 1950s. It was from Baikonur in 1988 that the first Soviet spaceplane, Buran, was launched in response to the United States Space Shuttle. The Buran programme officially ended in 1993 during the presidency of Boris Yeltsin, with only that initial launch to its name. Thereafter, much of the Baikonur Cosmodrome fell into disuse, notably the sites connected with the launch of these Soviet craft. Two completed shuttles remain abandoned there, laid to rest in this atmospheric place. This is the first time that photographs of these spectacular locations have been published in a book. Under cover of night, Jonk travelled 20 kilometres through the Kazakh desert, crept into the hangars, and spent three nights hiding from military security, to produce a truly incredible reportage of what is considered today the world’s most important urban exploration site.
