Item description from seller

First edition, first printing. Soft cover. White matt wrappers, with title printed in silver on cover and spine, no dust jacket as issued; with silver paper-covered cardstock slipcase. Photographs, artist's book concept and design by Ed Ruscha. Unpaginated accordion-fold, with numerous black and white panoramic plates printed as if one continuous photograph across the upper and lower sections of all of the pages. 7-1/16 x 5-5/8 inches (approximately 27 feet fully-extended). This first issue was limited to 1000 copies (with the extra 2-inch flap at the end of the last folded page, which was the result of the printer's miscalculation). [Cited in Andrew Roth, ed., The Book of 101 Books: Seminal Photographic Books of the Twentieth Century. (New York: PPP Editions in association with Roth Horowitz LLC, 2001), in Andrew Roth, ed., The Open Book.

(London and New York: Phaidon, 2006).]. Fine (Minor glue residue near edge, from slipcase glue, else Mint) in Fine Mylar slipcase (slight rubbing to the mylar).

This allowed him to photograph every building on Sunset Boulevard (between Crescent Heights Boulevard in Hollywood and Doheny Drive in Beverly Hills), while driving -- first down one side of the street and then the other. The pictures were then pasted in order, the individual buildings were labeled with their respective addresses, and presented with the north side of the street at the top of the page, with the south side of the street inverted and aligned below it.…
