I still haven't taken the wrapping off mine and now I've seen the dead goldfish picture, I think I may never do. Surely it can't get better than that?!

Well... spoiler in white
In the note at the end Nicky is talking about polaroid film and how expensive it's got and he has to resort to going to ebay to get film. So see, he can use the internet! Appreciation people... FEAR!!!

He has "people" to do that sort of thing for him.

I've not seen this much denial since Richey thought he was the first person to wear a white jumpsuit!

LOL the Manics haven't sold out THAT much.

The hiatus is gonna be great for Manics releases. The National Treasures box, the PFAYM box and the NT DVD will all be in poundland. Cracking!

In the book, the page facing 'Dead Goldfish' has 2 polaroids of James & Nick in a style similar to that found in the film Rumblefish.

Try watching the film if you don't understand the connection..

...Saying that, I'm still to find the connections in relation to pictures of trees/ice/clouds

The notes underneath each of Mitch's Polaroids really saves the book. Nicky's 30th birthday, various times I've seen the band/release dates for songs/when & what time of day/night videos were shot. Worth every penny for me!

I think it's a really good book. Can't say I've ever bought a photography book before but it's really nice. I'm thinking of getting an instant camera soon, just to play around with, so this is yet more inspiration. Yay.

All good charity shops should have them, getting the film though is another matter

i thought the polaroid cameras had been relaunched. They used a very new looking one on one of those pointless interior decorating daytime shows
