Alinder, James — Roy Decarava: Photographs

Carmel, California, The Friends of Photography, 1981. . Softcover. Size: 4to 11" - 13" tall.

Sturdy, still tightly bound softcover copy, moderate wear of covers, mostly to edges, but with neither underlining nor highlighting, bright and clean of interior, a perfectly readable, usable copy. Big, tall, quarto format, nearly pristine of interior. Preface and Epilogue by James Alinder, and a very long Introduction by Sherry DeCarava, both in double-column text.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . Signed by Author. . Very Good
