Couchman photographed a large group of Chinese workers engaged in construction of Olympic projects such as the Bird's Nest and Water Cube. The book is an album of 143 portraits of workers standing in front of the iconic Olympic buildings they helped construct, together with each worker's name and hometown, written in his, and in a few cases her, own hand.

You can read more about the book here, and get directions to the Bookworm here.
