From the publisher: "Lime Works contains images which are moving for the ways in which they transcend the reality of their subject matter, large lime stone processing plants and quarries [scattered at thirty sites in Japan, from Hokkaido to Okinawa]. Renowned Japanese photographer Hatakeyama evokes the site as the landscape is torn asunder for industrial use. The result is a surprisingly eerie work, composed of rusting lots, polluted waters, and upturned stone."

Paperback. SIGNED. First edition, first printing, 1996. Very Good paperback; the book looks quite nice but there are a couple of barely visible defects: a two-inch abrasion to the front, a long scratch to the front and back, a small abrasion at one edge, and a bump to the fore edge of the text block causing a dimple to the edge of about half the pages. Still, a nice-looking copy. BOOKS SHIP THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY, WRAPPED IN PADDING, IN A BOX.
