One of the lecturers at my college was Tom Wood. At that time Tom had just completed his ‘Looking for Love‘ project on the Chelsea Reach nightclub (where incidentally I met my wife Jayne), and was already engaged on other projects around Liverpool. Also Martin Parr had just completed his ‘Last Resort’ project on New Brighton (where I was living at the time). I often wonder how much more we would see of Tom’s work if he had been embraced by Magnum. Unfortunately I cannot find much of Tom’s work online, save for a few excerpts from his excellent books, and I have long since lost touch with him ( I think he now lives in North Wales). Tom if you happen to see this, drop me a line.

Hello Dave,
I count myself very lucky because I used to be the Production Director of the company who printed both the books you mention! I recall that Tom was very involved with every minute detail of the production of his book, which is not surprising, after all the work he’d done just to get it to press. Have you seen what this book is now worth? And Last Resort? I’m still in contact with Martin and still help with the production of some of his work (I now own my own print productio company). All the best
