Description from the seller
34 years after its original release, photographer Nick Waplington has taken it upon himself to republish his iconic and out-of-print book Living Room. Released under his own imprint, Jesus Blue, the new edition is faithful to the previous design but includes a completely different edition and several different photographs.
“Reacting to, as Nick Waplington says, “the grainy, downtrodden, black-and-white interpretation of working-class life” that one generally sees, Living Room offers lushly colored glimpses of community spirit, ignited by joys. , mishaps and adventures of family life. Over the course of four years, Nick Waplington got to know working-class families in Nottingham, England intimately. He spent countless hours becoming part of the bustling chaos of their lives, photographing them with sympathetic spontaneity. This young, award-winning photographer's first book, Living Room, makes viewers feel at home in his warm, cozy, and noisy world."
Seller's Story
Dartbooks is a specialized photography bookshop based in Barcelona, dedicated to photobooks, rare and out-of-print editions, and historically significant publications. With a strong focus on Japanese photography, Dartbooks was founded to provide continuity to a field that requires depth, expertise, and careful curation.
The bookshop was established after the closure of Kowasa, a landmark reference for photography books in Spain. Its disappearance left a clear gap for photographers, collectors, and institutions in need of a space with a serious and knowledgeable approach to the photobook. Dartbooks emerged in response to that need, not as a replacement, but as part of the natural evolution of a cultural ecosystem.
Dartbooks operates with a curatorial mindset, shaped by long-term engagement with photography and book collecting. The project functions as a book hunting platform for collectors, professionals, and libraries worldwide, and also provides advisory support to other bookshops seeking to develop coherent and specialized photography collections.
The catalogue includes new publications, rare and out-of-print titles, monographs, retrospectives, self-published works, signed copies, and editions produced directly by photographers through their own imprints. The selection reflects a sustained commitment to photography as a form of visual narration, where images construct meaning beyond text.
Although rooted in the Gràcia neighbourhood of Barcelona, Dartbooks serves an international audience. Its community includes collectors, professionals, and institutions from France, the United Kingdom, Japan, and beyond, both through the physical space and the online platform.
Dartbooks understands the photobook not merely as an object of consumption, but as a cultural artifact that documents artistic practices, historical contexts, and personal visions. The bookshop functions simultaneously as a place of discovery, an archive in constant growth, and a point of connection between photographers, publishers, and readers.
