Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. An excellent copy of this philosophical study. A volume in the SUNY Series in Contemporary Continental Philosophy. Binding is solid and sturdy. Interior is crisp, clean, and free of marks. Interior of the back cover has a small square where the endpaper is torn, likely a production error. This issue has no structural impact on the book. Dust jacket has some light overall scuffing. Bottom corners have been bumped, as has the bottom of the spine. Top and bottom edges of the spine have some light wear. DJ is now wrapped in brodart for protection. A great overall copy of this text.

Art / Print / Poster
A lovely black and white photograph of a fashion shoot for Guy Laroche Haute-Couture. Original photograph held under passe partout. Model (anonymous) in a gabardine jacket and felt hat. To the verso, the credits show that this is from the Guy Laroche Autumn / Winter collection. Photograph in as new condition, held under stiff passe partout with thin card backing board. Photograph is in practically as new condition. Passe partout is clean and neat, with a touch of edge tape only. Photograph dimensions 29.5cm x 21cm. Passe partout is 45cm x 36cm. It is perhaps symptomatic of the fashion industry that although the hair stylist and make up artist are both credited, the model herself is not names. Laroche (1921-1989) was one of the first designers to introduce separates (ie. jacket and trousers). His company continues today. .
