About This Item
New York: Ziff-Davis Publishing Company, 1961. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. First edition. 159 pp. Black cloth lettered in gilt. Near Fine with slightly musty smell, very slight lean to spine, toning to pages, in Very Good+ slightly toned jacket with wear at tail, small letter "R" written on front flap, unclipped.
A nice copy of the famous street photographer's memoir. The front cover bills him as "The World's Zaniest Photographer"-- but "zany" seems a poor choice of adjectives for his gritty, sensational style.
