Every Building on the Sunset Strip.

The second edition of a work originally published in 1966. Accordion-fold reproductions of black and white photographs of the buildings, with their printed addresses. White paper card covers with the title: The Sunset Strip, printed in silver on the spine and front cover. The spine shows a partial light crease, and a little very light tanning. In the silver mylar-covered slipcase with white paper top and bottom edges. The front edges of the slipcase show small splits. An exceptionally fine copy of a very fragile book. Mentioned in Andrew Roth's: Book of 101 Books: Seminal Photographic Books of the Twentieth Century. Ed Ruscha had a retrospective exhibition at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, in 2006. This is Ruscha's most famous book, in part because of the differences between the first and the second editions. In the first, the last photo could not be fit on the page, so the page was extended to accommodate the full picture and the page was folded to preserve the flush edge. Ruscha however was unhappy with this solution, and in the second edition he made sure that the last photo was cropped to fit the regular page and eliminate the fold. See "The Works of Ed Ruscha" (1982); p. 169.…
