An absolute "must-have" title for art and photography collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed, dated (shortly after publication), and inscribed in black ink-pen on the half-title page by the museum curator/author: "For Martha - Thanks for your support of the museum and for being such a champion of photography and photographers. Barbara Tannenbaum Oct.10, 2001". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. The recipient, Martha Schneider, who is named, is one of the most important figures of contemporary art photography. This title is now collectible. As far as we know, this is the only such signed, post-publication dated, and inscribed copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright.
