One of the most valuable and iconic photography books of our time. The true First Edition.

Pictorial flexi-boards with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Photographs by Gary Lee Boas. Text by Carlo McCormick and Michael Musto. Printed on pristine-white, archival stock paper in the United States to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Presents Gary Lee Boas' "Starstruck: Photographs From A Fan". The single most important collection of its kind in the history of photography: A dedicated fan's snapshot-photographs of celebrities. Gary Lee Boas was not a paparazzo like Ron Galella: While he relentlessly pursued his subjects, he was not paid to do so, and his "scoops" were lucky "chance" encounters. Nor was he a celebrity portrait-photographer like Annie Leibovitz: While all of his subjects enjoyed being photographed by him, often inviting Boas to pose with them, including a rare photograph of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis posing graciously with Boas, ALL of his photographs are informal snapshots rather than formal portraits. Boas lived the life of the fan whose commitment was religious in its fervor. He ended up documenting for posterity the modern celebrity worship that photography has made possible. The idea of celebrity is centuries-old, much older than most people realize (the best book on the subject, "The Frenzy of Renown", recounts how such immortals as Mozart, Shakespeare, and Chopin cultivated their cult followings). Boas' distinct advantage over his predecessors was that he could take pictures. "He would wait outside theaters, parties, and restaurants in hopes of photographing famous people. He captured everyone from silver-screen goddesses and Broadway legends to beauty queens, rock stars, politicians, porn stars, and the Pope. The result is the most fascinating portrait of contemporary culture, taken from the perspective of a fan" (Publisher's blurb). Boas' two biggest conquests were Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Greta Garbo. If you are wondering why these two figures, then you are probably not interested in photography or Pop culture. An absolute "must-have" title for Gary Lee Boas collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed and dated in blue ink-pen on the title page by the photographer: "Gary Lee Boas 10/6/00". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. But what makes this copy unique is that he added a truly beautiful, paragraph-long inscription on top of the page (to two close friends/fellow-fans of celebrities), which he signed in full as well. This title is a photography classic. This is the only such double-signed copy of the First Edition/First Printing available online and is in fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. 300 color plates. "Starstruck: Photographs From A Fan" was selected as one of the greatest photography books in "The Photobook". One of the most important photographers of the 20th century. A fine collectible copy. ISBN 0966427254. Signed by Author.…
