Reasons to Be Cheerful

"Reasons to Be Cheerful" is the first book about the influential British visual artist Barney Bubbles (July 1942 – November 1983).

Published in the UK, Europe and Asia by Adelita on December 4 2008 and in the US in March 2009, Reasons To Be Cheerful is written by Paul Gorman and contains close to 600 images — many rare and previously unpublished, including photographs, working sketches, artist notebooks and original artwork.
