Book
Paperback. Second printing. White wraps with color and b&w illustration and black lettering; 196 pp.; chiefly illustrations (some color). In 1967, Danny Lyon turned his camera toward life in American prisons. "Conversations with the Dead" reflects fourteen months he spent looking and listening inside six Texas penitentiaries. Free to enter the prisons at any time of day or night, Lyon moved among the prisoners as they functioned in groups, and as they existed in isolation. He photographed men in their cells, in the fields, working, eating, daydreaming -- passing so much time. Befriending them, he records the personal testimonies of their lives and the official documents which condemn them to living death. -- rear cove. Good (Ex art library with a sticker to front cover and inside rear cover, with penciled markings on half-title; wraps are edgeworn/scuffed/smudged/toned; front cover is curling upward; textblock edges are toned/scuffed/smudged; interior is clean but lightly age toned; binding is solid.).

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good+. Dust Jacket Condition: good. First edition. 196 pp. Oblong quarto [21 cm]; white cloth spine with black stamped titling, grey cloth boards. Pictorial dust jacket. The book is clean with some edgewear, the text block is a bit loose. Dust jacket is complete and bright if a bit soiled. Dust jacket has several small tears near the folds and along its edges where a previous owner has "repaired" them with clear scotch tape. Overall a good and complete copy of this fascinating photography book. "I've tried with whatever power I had to make this picture of imprisonment as distressing as it is in reality. The few times I doubted the wisdom of my attitude, I had only to visit someone in his cell to straighten out my mind. I had been warned at the outset not to let the men con me. I am told that I have not seen what these men have done on the outside. That is true. I saw only what was before my eyes. And the material collected here doesn't approach for a moment the feeling you get standing for two minutes in the corridor of Ellis." -Danny Lyon.
