From Our House To Your House by Martin Parr
Leading photographer Martin Parr, author of the highly successful Boring Postcards, has put together another wonderful book from his personal collection of cards. These are a fascinating eye-opener into American culture, as proud families everywhere (pets included) pose before the camera to send their Christmas greetings across the nation. Illustrated with 80 photos.
