Softcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. "This 8.0 x 10.0 inch, 53 page softcover book is the first edition of this title in 1974. This copy is in very good condition with a small crease showing on the bottom front corner and some Scotch tape to the top rear corner of the cover as the only real condition issues to mention for this copy.

Now the small tape reinforcement of the corner is unobtrusive and clean. Beyond that the interior shows a previous owner's inked gift inscription on the half-title but otherwise the text in near fine condition with the wonderful array of Adams' imagery highlighting each page and with no accompanying text material. There are three different introductory descriptions about Adams and his work including one "statement" by Adams himself, made in March 1974. 53 pages.".…
