First published in 1992, Immediate Family has been lauded by critics as one of the great photography books of our time, and among the most influential. Taken against the Arcadian backdrop of her woodland summer home in Virginia, Sally Mann's extraordinary, intimate photographs of her children reveal truths that embody the individuality of her own family yet ultimately take on a universal quality. With sublime dignity, acute wit, and feral grace, Sally Mann's pictures explore the eternal struggle between the child's simultaneous dependence and quest for autonomy-the holding on and the breaking away. This is the stuff of which Greek dramas are made: impatience, terror, self-discovery, self-doubt, pain, vulnerability, role-playing, and a sense of immortality, all of which converge in these astonishing photographs. This reissue of Immediate Family has been printed using new scans and separations from Mann's original prints, which were taken with an 8-by-10-inch view camera, rendering them with a freshness and sumptuousness true to the original edition.

Monochrome photos. Near Fine in Good jacket. 3L. Sewn binding in paper-covered boards with cloth spine, in dustjacket. The original edition, published to accompany the touring exhibition of 1992. Book nearly as new, with tight binding, strong hinges and square spine. No marks. Lower corners a little bumped. Unclipped dustjacket is shiny with little wear, but I've rated it "Good only" because it is badly rippled from having been stored in a tight Brodart.
