Dominic
Greyer has been fascinated by peculiar place names ever since
his parents took him, at age three, on a family holiday to Boot,
in Cumbria. Twenty-five years later, after establishing himself
as a talented young photographer and cinematographer (including
making music promos with Blur, Pulp and Fatboy Slim and a Channel
4 TV series, ‘Lesser Spotted Britain’) he began touring
the highways and byways of Britain searching for ever odder place
names to photograph. Over 30,000 miles and two hundred photos
later, the result is FAR FROM DULL

Quirky,
surprising humour makes this a perfect impulse buy –
and an irresistible one for anyone with a friend called Keith or
Ginge, or a yearning to go to Bedlam, Minions or Nobottle.
