Seller's Description:
Near Fine in Very Good jacket. Book. Signed by Author(s) Very clean hardcover second edition, SIGNED by the author, in clean unclipped dust jacket. Clean unfaded dark blue cloth boards with blind-stamped lettering on cover, silver lettering on spine. Binding is tight and square, hinges are sound, all pages and edges are clean. Inscribed and signed by the author on the title page: "For Larry, Corta, Constantine Manos." Clean dust jacket is unchipped, not price clipped, has one short tear and small wrinkle at top spine edge. Gorgeous photographs made in isolated areas of rural greece in the early 1960s, the book won awards at the Leipzig Book Fair and at Arles, and has become a sought-after classic. For this second edition of the book, Manos has gone back into his files to find previously unpublished images that further enhance the beauty and depth of this body of work. These pictures are the record of random wanderings in places where the only sound might be the distant tinkling of sheep bells, where hospitality for the stranger is a sacred tradition, and where time has stood still against a backdrop of rural simplicity and serenity.
