Description

The purpose of the Contemporary Photographers Series is to present new, young photographic talent in both hard and paperbound editions at prices people can afford. You put this together with our obsession with high-quality, 300-line screen duotone offset, and you have problems. This book succeeds, we think, in being both economical and intimate, while presenting first calibre design and production.
