[UPDATE Monday: The deal—or mistake?—has ended; the book is back to £35 in the U.K. —Ed.]
Remember Nathan Benn? We featured his book Kodachrome Memory: American Pictures 1972–1990 here some time ago, and people loved the example picture we posted (here's the followup, in which we heard from Nathan himself). Just thought our U.K. readers might want to know that the book is on sale there for only £11.56
It's still available new in the U.S.

Note that if you set up an account (which is still possible, as far as I know), Amazon UK is quite happy to sell books to customers located in the USA. Shipping is a little expensive if you're in a hurry, but otherwise it's the normal Amazon experience, just with more "u"s in the words.

Mike,
The Shelburne Museum in Shelburne, Vermont has most of Nathan Benns "Kodachrome Memories" photos on display. The show runs through May 25th. I enjoyed the show immensely.

I went to the opening. Nathan gave a wonderful overview of being a new National Geographic photographer and given the one word assignment "Vermont". He spent several months in Vermont for the Geographic story. I had a nice chat with him after his presentation about how he immersed himself into Vermont communities and landscape. Quite a feat as Nathan was a Floridian.

Thank you ! I purchased the book for £11.56, it's lovely, and I feel a bit guilty for paying so little for it.
The bad thing about this book is that it encourages related temptations: if someone could tell my why the X100T is a bad camera, and Fuji's 'Classic Chrome' is a useless simulation I could continue to save money ...........
