Shale Britannia: A
Sideways Glance at Speedway
256 pages 245 colour photos, flexiback
A hymn to the (largely)
blue collar speedway community and a lament that its
stolid, unfashionable virtues of loyalty, dedication
and dry humour so often fail to touch a chord in
[modern] Britain.
TIM HAMBLIN, WOLVERHAMPTON EXPRESS
& STAR
"There is more than a hint of the great, sly realist
Martin Parr in Scott's photographs, which capture a
scene that has barely changed in many respects since
the Seventies."
ANDREW BAKER, DAILY TELEGRAPH
"A brilliantly quirky book"
BIG ISSUE
