Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Images of Barbados (1979) by Roger Labrucherie (Imagenes Press). ISBN: 9780939302017. Ah, 1979 Barbados: turquoise seas, blindingly white beaches, bougainvillaea climbing every available surface, and tourists wearing shorts that would now get them arrested by the fashion police. Roger Labrucherie?s Images of Barbados is exactly what it says on the tin: a glossy, sun-soaked photo album of the island in its late-70s splendour. The book is crammed with pictures of sugar cane fields, fishing boats, plantation houses, market stalls, carnival costumes, and?of course?the sort of ocean that makes you want to resign from your job immediately and take up permanent hammock residence. But this isn?t just a postcard dump. Labrucherie captures the rhythms of Barbadian life with a kind of wide-eyed enthusiasm that only a 70s coffee-table book can muster. Every shot looks like it?s waiting to be soundtracked by calypso, every caption reads like a travel brochure determined to make you spend your last penny on a plane ticket. There?s a hazy nostalgia baked into every glossy page, a reminder of a pre-internet era when books like this were the closest you could get to ?scrolling? paradise. Condition: Very Good. Which, in Crappy Old Books terms, means the colours are still vibrant, the binding is strong, and the only sand in it is purely metaphorical. No torn pages, no mysterious stains?just the faint patina of a book that?s been admired on coffee tables, possibly alongside rum punch, but never sacrificed to a suntan-oil spill. This is the kind of book that will make you want to book a holiday, buy a steel drum, or at the very least put on some sunglasses and pour yourself a cocktail with a silly umbrella in it. Another gem rescued from obscurity by Crappy Old Books , where even your armchair can feel like a deck chair if the photography is good enough.…
