A propos de cet article

First Edition (NAP; The Museum Of Modern Art= NAP). Both the book and the dust jacket are in very nice condition. You can see the maroon covers of the book in the photos. They are very clean. The gilt lettering on the spine is nicely bright. The cover edges and corners are in excellent shape, no rubbing on either. The page edges are perfectly clean. The book is very solidly bound from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well. The pages are exceptionally clean. Scrolling through, I'm not finding any soiling. That includes the inside covers and end papers. I'm not finding any conspicuous creasing, no placeholder creases, no turn-down corners. There are no markings in the book. There are no attachments of any kind. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere. The preface and an introductory essay titled Atget and the Art of Photography are written by John Szarkowski, 'Director of the Department of Photography at The Museum of Modern Art.' The Notes sections at the end of the book are written by Maria Morris Hambourg. 'The 121 plates in this volume are annotated in absorbing detail by Maria Morris Hambourg.' The Plates section begins at page 29 and concludes on page 148. All of the photographs are in excellent condition. You can see the dust jacket in the first few photos (odd angles a not wholly successful attempt to elude glare). The jacket is very clean. There are no tears. There's only the slightest bit of crinkling at the spine ends. There is a very light impression of a paper clip off the top edge of the rear cover. The same impression is visible on the inside cover of the rear cover. The book was not affected by the paper clip. The flaps are in excellent condition, exceptionally clean. The jacket is NOT price-clipped, not clipped at all. It will be fitted with a protective cover after the photos are scanned. From the dust jacket: 'John Szarkowski's introductory essay considers the nature of Atget's talent and his contributions to the art of photography. 'He brought to his work a quality that one might describe, inadequately, either as an original eye or original mind. All of his pictures are informed by a precise visual intelligence, by the clarté that is the highest virtue of the classic French tradition. This quality was achieved not by impeccable technique, but by discovering precisely what one meant to say, and saying neither more nor less.' '.…

Description de la boutique

Many of the books I will be selling can accurately be described as ranging from somewhat rare to very rare. In some cases there won't be another copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. There doesn't seem much point, for you or me, in offering something that so many others are already offering. Subject matter will range very widely, creating the possibility for people with very different interests to find something that excites them. As regards pricing, my primary goal is to sell the book. Most often I would expect my book to be the least expensive option on the Internet taking into account an appropriate comparison(what is the condition, is the dust jacket present, is the book signed, is it a first printing, etc.). More important than selling the book I want to make sure that you know, as much as is possible, exactly what you are getting. To that end, you'll notice that my descriptions of condition tend to be lengthy, and that there will always be photographs to help you draw your own conclusions. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about a given book. As regards international shipping, the first class or standard rates I charge are based on a package weight between 2 and 3 pounds. If the book is on the thin side there is a possibility that I can securely pack it up under 2 pounds in weight. If so, the shipping price will drop by around $11.00 or $12.00 to $26.00-27.00. Canada, which is less expensive drops to $18.00. You can contact me before purchasing a book for an estimate on the shipping cost. If you buy the book and it weighs in below 2 pounds you'll get a Reduced Shipping message and amount with the invoice and you'll see the lowered final cost before you make your payment.…
