signed first edition
1976
by FRIEDLANDER, Lee
New York: The Eakins Press, 1976. Covers lightly soiled and faded, a very good copy in screw-bound elongated boards.. First Edition. Oblong folio. Limited to 2000 copies. SIGNED by Friedlander and inscribed: "Lesle [?] put this in / so I wouldn't ruin / any real pages / Lee Friedlander." From the library of publisher Nicholas Callaway (likely the recipient of the inscription). Friedlander's obsessive paean to the forgotten and forgettable monuments of America; beautifully designed, edited, and printed, providing a brilliant contrast to the apparent nonchalance of the images themselves. (Parr / Badger, v2, 28; Roth 236; Open Book 310).
