Guatemala: Galeria Panajachel, 1977. Reprint. Hardcover. Good. Text in German. Hardcover reprint, lacking dustjacket, in good condion. Acclaimed artist Nan Cuz has created a beautiful collection of works to go with this native folklore book. General wear at the board edges, with four claw marks (??) to the front spine edge (I know that's a flaw but it somehow feels sexier than that), and a shallow tear at the rear cover joint. Brilliant and colorful illustrated covers. The interior is clean and solidly bound. 37 pp., with full color artwork throughout.
