Terrible Estate Agent Photos

FOR SALE: From the creator of the viral blog sensation TerribleRealEstateAgentPhotos.com, a book of the most baffling property photographs ever taken. With over 100 previously unpublished photos, early viewing is STRONGLY recommended. The mantra 'location, location, location' often concerns buying a house, but some estate agents would do well to apply it to their photography. Should one, for instance, locate the camera in front of a fossilised garden chair? An overflowing ash tray? An elderly relative hustling out of shot? Has thought been spared for the location of that dirty underwear? Those psychedelic curtains? Out of touch with realty, less Rankin and more plain rank, some of the worst offenders should perhaps consider relocating to another industry. Luckily for us, they haven't yet. The mystifying property photographs gathered here are an endless source of confusion, confusion, confusion, frustration, frustration, frustration and, perversely, satisfaction, satisfaction, satisfaction. Reactions to TerribleRealEstateAgentPhotos.com: ‘One of the funniest things on the web’ – Guardian ‘Hilarious’ – Tom Standage, Economist ‘Brilliant’ – Graham Linehan ‘Astonishing’ – Daily Mail ‘Hilarious’ – Time Out ‘Marvellous’ – Independent ‘Amazing’ – Der Spiegel

This book provides a wealth of factual and personal family information on the so-called 10 pound assisted passage scheme that enticed thousands of Britons to become part of the great post-war migration surge to Australia. It tells why migrants wanted to come to Australia and how they fared once they arrived here.
