I’m taking part in the forum Thinking the Photobook, as part of Photobook Melbourne. It’s on at ‘The Baron Said’, 83 Kerr Street Fitzroy, 5.30pm Sunday 15 February. What will I be talking about?

Question: How many Australian photobooks are in Parr and Badger’s massive, and massively selling, three volume encyclopaedia of almost 1000 photobooks?

Answer: Two only that I can find (Sleeth and Parke)

Question: Why are there so few?

Answer: Good question.

Beforehand Lee Grant is launching her new China book at the CCP, just up the road, at 3pm.
