All-American V: Is Love Enough? is the latest installment in a series of limited edition art and literary journals created and published by Bruce Weber and Nan Bush. The goal of this Series is to celebrate the work of artists, essayists, photographers, poets and individuals who stand out as compelling examples of the American cultural experience. The provocative question posed by the title of All-American V: Is Love Enough? frames this book's thematic exploration of human devotion in its many forms. The centerpiece of this year's volume is a chapter devoted to the US Marine Corp, featuring original photography taken by Bruce Weber on the base at Camp Pendleton and extensive profiles of Sgt. Nick Popaditch, a Marine wounded in Baghdad, and Cpl. Jeff Boskovitch, who was killed in action in Iraq. Weber's photographs also appear in a career-spanning photo-essay on the Reverend Billy Graham. Additional chapters are dedicated to Mississippi civil rights activist Winson Hudson, rodeo photographer Louise Serpa, pulp fiction master Mickey Spillane, American playwright Tennessee Williams and painter Fairfield Porter. In a romantic nod to its title, this year's volume also features exclusive Henry Grossman photographs from the first marriage of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. All-American V is larger than preceding issues by over 50 pages. The softcover book is linen bound, and contains 192 pages, with 60 full color plates, and 40 duotones, with many images spanning two pages.

Brand new, still sealed in the original shrinkwrap. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks, binding tight and solid, boards clean with no wear present. This is the sixth, lavishly produced Bruce Weber "All-American" limited edition - "Larger Than Life". "All-American VI takes its inspiration from fragments and glimmers and discoveries along the way as we sought to answer the nagging query: what does it take to live a great, big life? We heard hints of an answer in the lyrics to a favorite song, whispered in the lines of a forgotten poet - there, off to the side, in the background of the most amazing photograph. And then, in the year of his passing, we found an answer in the irrepressible smile on the face of a kid from Pittsburg who - at an early age - learned the power of dreaming big.
