Redstone Press has produced another small masterpiece, a compendium of wonder and alertness. SEEING THINGS works like an exquisite volume of short stories, revealing with brevity the hidden and the human. ANDREW O’HAGAN

A sunset. A famous writer at the door. A fire hydrant that casts a beguiling shadow. A sinister note from a hotel cleaner. An archival portrait that speaks across the decades.
This book gathers some of the most captivating images from the Instagram pages of well-known artists, writers, musicians and archivists – each pursuing interests beyond what they’re known for.
This hugely entertaining Redstone collection will surprise you, make you laugh, and see things that you might have missed.
