A Decade in Decay, Ryan Garb’s Book of Abandoned Places
A pre-order site for a 112-page hardcover collecting ten years of abandoned-place photography across the United States, Canada, and Europe.
Field notes
The book arranges ten years of exploration into twelve chronological chapters, each framed as a first-person account rather than a conventional location guide. The material includes Pripyat, Detroit, France, and underground New York, with recurring details such as fences, police surveillance, a Geiger counter, and a field of tanks. The author says the edition is limited to one print run, with printing scheduled for October 1 and shipping calculated separately at checkout.
