Roundabouts of Great Britain
The coffee-table book Canberra was destined to own.
No city on earth has earned this book quite like Canberra. Roundabouts of Great Britain is exactly what it says — a lovingly photographed, entirely sincere tribute to the humble traffic island — and in the roundabout capital of Australia that sincerity becomes the joke. Hand it to the Canberran who navigates fourteen of them on the school run, the newcomer still white-knuckling City Hill, or the expat who insists they miss the things. It is the perfect deadpan coffee-table book: straight-faced enough to fool a visitor, pointed enough that every local gets it instantly. A brilliant Kris Kringle, a housewarming laugh, or a quiet act of civic pride for the city that turned the roundabout into a way of life.
- A real, gloriously deadpan celebration of British roundabouts
- The ultimate knowing gift for a city built on them
- Page after page of traffic islands, appreciated sincerely
- Guaranteed to start a conversation on any Canberra coffee table
