Praise for Airborne Photo:

"A stack of hot Manwiches with hardboiled ingredients and a strong aftertaste for the steely constitution... " (Lynn Crosbie)

"Burnham's prose has the goods on a lower mainland most people are glad not to know." (George Bowering)

"an unsettling, diamond-sharp book of tiny stories that should be couriered to every doe-eyed, poverty-fetishizing liberal in the country." (This Magazine)
