Seller's Description:
Like New. 8 3/4" x 11" 288pp, pictorial paper boards with black and white photos on front cover, spine and back cover. No jacket, as issued. White titles on front cover and black titles on spine. Contains writing by Weber, Patti Smith and Allen Ginsberg, Charles Bukowski and others. No bumps or shelf wear to binding. "Hand-lettered stories begin and end this thick album, and other writings, typeset, occupy a few other pages, but Weber's captivating photos overwhelm them. Suggesting at times news photography in the brutal manner of Weegee...and at times self-conscious studio photography, Weber's usually black-and-white work combines a rough, warts-and-all effect and the firm smoothness of his preferred subjects, lean young men"-Booklist.
