Top edge of text block slightly spotty/foxed, internally clean, no annotations. Large photographic section in the centre of the book. The book is arranged on a year by year basis with essays reproduced. Indexed. The book focuses on the work of younger, less established photographers; that was the emphasis in the total body of writing from which these pieces have been selected. The few essays about better-known photographers that appear were included either because I felt the piece was a reconsideration which departed markedly from the established critical consensus, or because I felt the subjects hadn't received the attention their contributions merited. – Page IX.
