Book Description First edition and first printing. Hardcover. 101 pages. The first monograph from this important American photographer. Includes a brief essay by Gowin along with 68 of his deeply personal black and white images. A clean near fine copy in black cloth boards in a very good dust jacket with some slight wear to the spine ends and corners, some small indentations and scratches to the rear panel and a small tape repair to the verso. Still, a nice copy of the much less common cloth version of this terrific book. Seller Inventory # 196143
