About this Item
1st Printing. Signed. 64 pages. Published in 2001. Retrospective collection of photographs. One of the most beautiful photography books of its kind in our time. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. An austerely elegant production by Larry Snider and Sam Silvio Design: Oversize-volume format. Black cloth boards with titles embossed on cover and spine, as issued. Photographs and text by Larry Snider. Essay by Sylvia Wolf. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper by Meridian Printing Rhode Island to the highest standards. In pictorial DJ with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Presents Larry Snider's "A World Away". Evocative black-and-white photographs of peoples and places very faraway: The roads not taken of China, Tibet, Bhutan, and Ladakh. "Snider's interest in the people he encountered during his travels was equalled only by his love of photography itself and by his command of light, composition, and design" (Sylvia Wolf). These luminous images speak eloquently for themselves. An absolute "must-have" title for Larry Snider collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed and inscribed in black ink-pen on the title page by the photographer: "To Ron and Andrea, with best wishes and many fond memories - Larry Snider". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. The recipients, who are named, are unmistakably personally known to the photographer. This title is a contemporary photography classic. As far as we know, this is the only such signed and inscribed copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. It is the single best signed copy we have ever seen. A rare signed copy thus. 45 plates. One of the most remarkable American traveller/photographers of our time. A fine copy. ISBN 0970938802.
