How I discovered this book: Had seen the artist's photography on Twitter.
In A Nutshell: Wonderful photographs and a little about the history of Pennysylvania.
I have a fascination for abandoned houses, dereliction, places where once there was life, now fallen into disrepair. Having seen some of Janine Pendleton's photos on Twitter, I explored her website and bought this book. It came with two prints of my choice. This was one I chose:
At the beginning is a brief history of the state, and the photographs are divided into sections: churches, prisons, a trolley car graveyard, hospitals, cars, etc. Each place is named, and Ms Pendleton has explained why it fell into decay.
It's a terrific book, with just the right amount of text to go with the photos, which are amazing. I bought a copy for my brother, and he loves it too! A great purchase for anyone who has an interest in the subject matter. Highly recommended.
