Three New Books for 2008
Stuart’s next football book is due out end of 2008 and is entitled “England & Scotland : The Cradle of The Game” and will feature material he is currently photographing. There will be public and a collectors edition of the large, hardback colour book. The work will be shown around the World in exhibition variations, part-sponsored by the FA Premier League.
Stuart Clarke’s book on music due out November 2008 “Scenes From a British Summer Country Pop Music Festival” is being sponsored by National Express, the premier bus company, which gets people to festivals as well as football matches, places of interest such as Cumbria… and to see loved ones. More about this partnership will be added further on down the road.
Also out in hardback for the end of 2008 is Clarke’s “Cumbria Surrounded” – the much awaited book about Cumbria and The Lake District and the special place it holds in the hearts and minds of many, including those from afar.

World Cup Germany 2006
To see some initial Stuart Clarke World Cup Germany’06 pictures, click here.
There will be no dedicated book on the World Cup after all the work and translation and despite Clarke being so enthused by the experience. Instead the imagery – “the best I have ever taken” will become part of a book “Stuart Clarke takes on the World” due out in 2010.
