Would you consider getting a [literary] agent to do this?Player, finding a publisher is hard work and the effort can be soul-destroying
Yes, Robert but the w=question is where? This type of a book might best be received in Japan, where more photo books are published than anywhere else, and where there is also more interest in Thailand because of some perceived cultural similarities — Buddhhism and monarchy — but this is of a tenuous nature. Also I speak just enough Japanese to be able just about to deal with an agent or publisher. Someone in Japan was going to help me but that hasn't worked out. It's hard to know where to start.Would you consider getting a [literary] agent to do this?
My copy of the Writers' and Artists' Yearbook is a bit out of date. You could try these, if you haven't already - only the first seems to be listed in the book.Yes, Robert but the w=question is where?

I think you should distinguish between criticism and critique. Criticism is negative - in my opinion you are wrong [and I am the expert, so there!]Mitch, I don't generally respond to requests for criticism, because I don't want to be criticized myself. It's all so subjective,
Mitch,Ian, the trouble is that my project is similar in concept to some books by Moriyama Daido, one the greatest contemporary Japanese photographers.
I know nothing - well, not much, but I've just spent 1/2 hour going through your book project as a slide show, and I think it works. Just love the nude followed by the lamp shades at the end.Ian, the trouble is that my project is similar in concept to some books by Moriyama Daido, one the greatest contemporary Japanese photographers.

There is at least one locally:Yes, Robert but the w=question is where?
Thank you Ian - it was meant as one, and it's nice that it was appreciated as such!Jono's jealousy is such a sweet compliment! That's the thing, ultimately what makes your book a book is you saying it's one (worked for me), and the bravado you exhibit in taking your work that seriously will serve you well.
