Richard Billingham's 1996 photobook ‘Ray's a Laugh’ is considered one of the most important British contemporary photobooks. The original book consisted only of photographs, the idea being that the photographs stood for themselves. The only text to the book was a paragraph by Billingham on the back of the book and a quote from Robert Frank. ‘Ray’s a Laugh’ original 1996 edition is also cited on pages 304-305 of Martin Parr and Gerry Badger's ‘The Photobook: A History Volume II’.
This Errata edition Books on Books no. 18 covers Ray’s a Laugh’s historical significance, its production, bibliography of the artist and contains every page spread from the original classic book

Rhabdomastix (Rhabdomastix) ponticulus Theischinger & Billingham & Martin & Growns 2019, sp. nov.
No full textRhabdomastix (Rhabdomastix) ponticulus Theischinger & Billingham, sp. nov. (Figs. 36–38) Material examined. Holotype ♂: Australia, Queensland, Coombabah Creek off Pitcairn Way, 27.947002°S / 153.325096°E, 28–iv–2017, Z. Billingham (ANIC); specimen in 70% ethanol, terminalia preserved (glycerol) in microvial in glass vial together with specimen. Description. Male (Figs. 36–38). Head. Largely yellowish grey to dark greyish brown; palpus dark greyish brown. Antenna broken, brownish grey, estimated ca 1.7 mm long; pedicel shorter than flagellomeres; f1 subconical, f3 about four times as long as wide; verticils shorter than flagellomeres; some rather long pubescence. Thorax. Largely dark greyish brown with some yellowish grey. Coxae and trochanters greyish yellow, no other leg segments available. Wing. Membrane hyaline, slightly suffused with pale grey, distinctly darkened in pterostigma area, slightly darkened along cord. Veins R 4 and R 5 apically diverging; vein R 3 slightly oblique; vein A 2 short, ends well before level origin of Rs; cross-vein m-m missing, thus cell dm not developed. Halter with stem off white and knob pale grey. Abdomen. Medium brown to blackish brown; tergites slightly darker than sternites. Terminalia. Segment 9 a closed ring (with narrow dorsal bridge). Gonocoxite about three times as long as wide. Outer gonostylus slightly curved, without distinct apical spine, about one third as long as gonocoxite and about as long and largely about half as thick as inner gonostylus that is largely conical and bears two rather distinct setae, one apical and one subapical. Interbase pointed, only slightly and evenly arched, very slightly widened subapically. Aedeagus rather wide and apically rounded; vesica almost spherical with apodeme short and narrow, rod-like. Dimensions. Wing length 3.5 mm. Female unknown. Distribution. Eastern: Queensland (Map 1). Etymology. Ponticulus (=Latin for small bridge) refers to the sclerotized dorsal bridge in abdominal segment 9; a noun in apposition to the generic name. Discussion. The male of R. (R.) ponticulus stands out from all consubgeneric species known from Australia by cell dm open, by a sclerotized bridge across the mid-dorsal interruption of the sclerotization of segment 9 and by the particulars of the antenna as given above. The antennae closely agree with R. dooragana sp. nov., a species with very different terminalia. The terminalia of R. ponticulus are similar to R. dobrotworskyi sp. nov. and R. hirsuta sp. nov. both of which have quite different antennae. Rhabdomastix (Rhabdomastix) tonnoirana group (Figs. 39–52, Map 2) including the species R. collessiana, R. rosae, R. tonnoirana, R. wilsoniana Diagnosis. Antenna short; pedicel at least as long as or longer than flagellomeres; at least verticils of some flagellomeres longer than them; f3 about twice as long as wide. Veins R 4 and R 5 apically distinctly diverging; vein A 2 very distinctly sinuous and short, ending well before level origin of Rs. Wing membrane largely hyaline with distinct dark (brown/black) pattern/patches in costal, subcostal, radial and anal cells. Outer and inner gonostylus subequal in length and maximal width. Inner gonostylus conical as a whole, with mesal fringe of setae. Female with cerci and hypogynial valves very short and bulky, the cerci shorter than 0.3 mm, hairy/setose.Published as part of Theischinger, Günther, Billingham, Zacariah D., Martin, John & Growns, Ivor, 2019, The genus Rhabdomastix Skuse in Australia (Diptera: Tipuloidea: Limoniidae), pp. 65-100 in Zootaxa 4661 (1) on page 85, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4661.1.3, http://zenodo.org/record/337850

No full textRhabdomastix (Rhabdomastix) collessiana Theischinger & Billingham, sp. nov. (Figs. 39–41) Material examined. Holotype ♀: Australia, Queensland, Blackdown Tableland, 23–24–iv–1981, D.H. Colless (ANIC); specimen dry, pinned, terminalia preserved (glycerol) in microvial on the pin. Paratypes: 2 ♀♀, same data as holotype (ANIC); 1 ♀, Bimberamala Ck, 7–ii–1997, G. Theischinger and L. Müller (AM); 3 ♀♀, New South Wales, Wilson River Reserve, 15 km NW Bellangry, 244 m, 7–xii–1986, G. Theischinger (AM). Description. Female (Figs. 39–41). Head. Largely greyish yellow to greyish brown; rostrum and palpus medium brown. Antenna 1.4–1.7 mm long, largely pale greyish yellow, only terminal 4–6 segments somewhat darker; pedicellus approximately as long as f1 and slightly shorter than f2–f5; f1 conical, f3 twice to three times as long as wide; verticils about as long as flagellomeres. Thorax. Very pale greyish to brownish yellow with mostly ill-defined dark greyish brown patches as follows: four indistinct stripes on presutural part of scutum; one (or two) indistinct patches on postsutural part; at least one ill-defined patch each covering most of scutellum and mediotergite; small, ill-defined patches on mesopleuron and sternopleuron (rather indistinct along the pleural suture) and all of meron. Legs very pale greyish yellow, increasingly darker from coxa to claws. Wing. Membrane slightly suffused with pale greyish brown all over and with distinct greyish brown pattern. Cell dm produced along vein M 1+2 . Dark patch at origin of Rs small, squarish and not extending into basal radial cell, dark patch between cord and end of R 1 not distinctly fused with patch on cord, dark patch on R 3 rather narrowly rectangular, same as dark patch on end of R 4 which is only vaguely fused with darkening of wing tip. Halters dull yellow to pale yellowish brown. Abdomen. Largely brownish grey. Terminalia. Cerci distinctly longer than 0.2 mm. Dimensions. Wing length 5.2–5.9 mm. Male unknown. Distribution. Eastern: Queensland, New South Wales (Map 2). Etymology. Dedicated to the great Australian dipterist D. H. Colless. Discussion. R. (R.) collessiana shares only with R. rosae and R. tonoirana a cell dm that is produced along vein M 1+2 . It differs from R. rosae and R. tonnoirana by lacking a dark wing patch between level origin of Rs and cord level. R. collessiana and R. tonoirana were found to coexist at Wilson River Reserve, 15 km NW Bellangry, at 244 m asl, in north-eastern New South Wales.Published as part of Theischinger, Günther, Billingham, Zacariah D., Martin, John & Growns, Ivor, 2019, The genus Rhabdomastix Skuse in Australia (Diptera: Tipuloidea: Limoniidae), pp. 65-100 in Zootaxa 4661 (1) on pages 85-88, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4661.1.3, http://zenodo.org/record/337850

Taylor (AM); specimen dry, pinned, terminalia preserved (glycerol) in microvial on the pin. Description. Male (Figs. 25–28). Head. Largely, including scape and pedicel, brownish grey. Palpus and antennal flagellum brown. Antenna at least 2 mm long and with verticils difficult to detect amongst very long rich pubescence. Thorax. Nota medium brown, pleura pale to dark yellowish brown. Legs with coxa and trochanter brownish yellow, remainder pale to medium greyish brown. Halters pale greyish brown. Wing. Veins R 4 and R 5 apically diverging; vein R 3 slightly oblique; vein A 2 ends well before level origin of Rs; cross-vein m-m longer than 0.5 of cross-vein r-m. Membrane hyaline, slightly suffused with yellowish grey, distinctly darkened in pterostigma area. Halter pale greyish brown. Abdomen. Brownish yellow to pale greyish brown. Terminalia. Gonocoxite approximately three times as long as wide. Outer gonostylus slim, less than half as long as gonocoxite, with posteromedial apical tooth followed by a tiny notch, not much longer than width of gonocoxite, only slightly longer and about twice as wide as inner gonostylus that is posteromedially produced into a short conical tip. Interbase pointed, very slightly and evenly arched and subapically moderately expanded. Vesica narrowing gradually into narrow truncate aedeagus that appears longer than vesica; apodeme of vesica rather long and stout, rod-like. Dimensions. Wing length 4.0 mm. Female unknown. Distribution. South-eastern: New South Wales (Map 1). Etymology. Hirsutus (=Latin for hairy) referring to the long, strong pubescence of the antennae. Discussion. The male of R. (R.) hirsuta stands out from all consubgeneric species known from Australia by rather long antennae (at least 2 mm) with long rich pubescence that makes it difficult to detect verticils, by outer gonostyli with small apical, mesally directed spine and not much longer than the rather plump inner gonostyli, and by very slightly arched, subapically moderately widened interbases.Published as part of Theischinger, Günther, Billingham, Zacariah D., Martin, John & Growns, Ivor, 2019, The genus Rhabdomastix Skuse in Australia (Diptera: Tipuloidea: Limoniidae), pp. 65-100 in Zootaxa 4661 (1) on pages 79-81, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4661.1.3, http://zenodo.org/record/337850
