As of this week, Rocket Gallery within the Tea Building in East London's Shoreditch will be playing host to a retrospective of books by photographer Martin Parr. The retrospective will mark Parr's eighth exhibition at Rocket over the last twelve years, the first of which was the photographer's first commercial exhibition in London.

Along with sixty of Parr's photographic books from over the last 35 years - for which Rocket have compiled Parrbooks, an illustrated bibliography listing every one of Parr's books - the exhibition will also feature some of his most iconic images.

The exhibition will run from 13th November 2009 to 30th January 2010. For more information, visit the Rocket Gallery website.
