Admin/Biog HistoryIn 1979, Stamp and Glynn Boyd Harte, published 'Temples of Power', a collection of lithographs of London's power stations drawn by Harte, with text written by Stamp. John Betjeman also provided the foreword. It was an expensive production, only 250 editions were made, and it was published by Curwen Press for the Cygnet Press. Simon Rendall was the publisher.

To celebrate the publication, they held a party at the National Liberal Club, at which they had a cake made in the shape of Battersea Power Station.
