    Thank you for these! It's funny, I just read this book in a bookstore last week. I had to convince myself not to buy it, as I already have so many books on Summerhill, but I'll probably go back and get it soon.

    Hi, I'm John Walmsley who took the photos at Summerhill School in 1967+8. Glad you all like the book. See more images here on my website:

    With luck, there will be one or two new books of Summerhill photos available in the Spring of 2012.
    All the very best to you.
