Seller's Description:
Used-Very Good. Slickly designed and printed in duotone, Canine features 50 photographs of different dogs-at play and at work, worried and cocky, flying through the air and napping on the sofa, at dog shows and just showing off. Interspersed with the pictures are appropriately quirky snippets of text, featuring such diverse sources as Richard Nixon, Jean-Paul Sartre, Thomas Mann, and dog trainers from the nineteenth century. This book is affordable and beautifully designed, with charming pictures by a well-known photographer and author. It will make a perfect gift for anyone with a special dog in his or her life and it will arrive in plenty of time for the holidays. Henry Horenstein is the author of over 25 books for adults and children, including the classic text Black and White Photography (Little, Brown; 400, 000+ copies sold) and Creatures (Pond Press, 1999). He lives in Boston and teaches photography at the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence. 'Canine' is not your typical dog picture book. In the tradition of Elliott Erwitt, Horenstein's photos are quirky, funny, odd and irresistable. Very nice clean, tight copy free of any marks.
