Item description from seller

Small 8vo; continuous accordion-fold book running to almost 300 in. when extended to full length; printed wrappers. Ruscha's most famous and influential artist's book, comprising captioned photographs of, well, every building on the Sunset Strip, with both sides of the boulevard represented, even numbered building along the upper margin and odd numbered buildings along the lower margin. The first printing included an extra bit of paper at the end owing to a printer's misculculation. It was eliminated for second printing, which is otherwise indistinguishable. One of 5000 copies in this edition. This copy is from the library of American photographer and photo-theorist Allan Sekula, with his distinctive ownership stamp. Engberg B4. Exlibris to inside front cover; spine wrinkled, as usual; just about fine in the silver-mylar covered slipcase, with some tiny breaks at joints.
