It examines his significant contribution as a painter, printmaker and teacher. Illustrated with 175 colour images from his career, and with a foreword by the actor, writer, traveller, and long-time friend Michael Palin, this book offers an insightful and entertaining portrait of Chris Orr.

“More people know Chris Orr's work than know they know it” wrote Lyn Barber in the Independent. She was of course referring to the famous A-Z poster.   

Available still in it’s classic 6th printing (over 15,000 have been sold throughout the world), gracing bathrooms of both the rich and famous as well everyday folk. The “Poo Poster” as it is often called, came from a game Chris played with his son on long car journeys. Chris, is inundated with letters and emails asking where to buy this unique poster. Generations have now grown up with the A-Z as an essential aid to those quiet moments. It's unusual take on the alphabet slightly shocks but always amuses and is claimed by many people to be highly educational.    

A-Z Poster available from the artist.
