Item description from seller

SHIPPING NOTE: due to size and weight (e.g., multi-volume sets), additional shipping fees apply (calculated at checkout). First edition, first printing. Three volumes, each signed in pencil on the title page by Gill. Hardcover. Screen printed cloth-covered boards (the edition was divided, with each volume receiving one of three different covers) containing a leporello (accordion-fold) book; no dust jacket as issued. Photographs and text by Stephen Gill. Designed by Melanie Mues. Each volume 78 pp., with 36 black-and-white plates. 12-1/4 x 9-1/2 inches. This first edition was limited to 3000 copies. New. From the artist: "These betting slips were discarded in and around many betting shops (71 at the time of publication) in the borough of Hackney in north-east London. The average number of betting shops in other London boroughs is 23. Each of these papers began as hope, were shaped by loss or defeat, then cast aside. These new forms perhaps now possess a state of mind, shaped by nervous tension and grief. After these images were made, little autopsies were performed on the papers to reveal the failed bets held within. If betting shops move into places previously occupied by banks or solicitors, they are classed as financial services and don't have to apply for any special permit. In such numbers, they are beginning to feel like a burden around a borough that is trying to improve itself and the lives of its residents, and to shake off its bad reputation.To exhibit this book, remove the book block from the outer cover, expand the pages and hang from nails or small hooks using the holes provided."
