About this Item

First Edition with the flap on the last page present. 5 3/4 inches x 7 1/8 in., accordion fold reproductions of black and white photographs of the buildings, with their printed addresses; folding out to 27 feet long. White paper card covers with the title: The Sunset Strip, printed in silver on the spine and front cover. The spine and cover edges show some light tanning. There is a neat split between the title/copyright page and the first page of photographs and a tear to the upper margin of page six. Some of the upper page edges show small reinforcements with tape, probably from the book being displayed. In the silver mylar-covered slipcase with white paper top and bottom edges. The front edges of the slipcase show some small splits. Despite these aforementioned condition details, this is still a near fine copy of a very fragile book, usually found in lesser condition. Mentioned in Andrew Roth's: "Book of 101 Books: Seminal Photographic Books of the Twentieth Century." Ed Ruscha had a retrospective exhibition at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, in 2006. This is Ruscha's most famous book. "The Works of Ed Ruscha" (1982); p. 169.
