About This Item
Abilene, Kansas: Arts Council of Dickinson County, 1999. Book. Near Fine. Hardcover. Signed by Author(s). 1st Edition. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. Hardback bound in black cloth-covered boards with black title on the spine. No defects to note on the book or the dust jacket. Book is SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR on half title page - no inscription. Abilene InSight is the first photographic portrait of Abilene, Kansas that pictures the community through its people. This book is much more than an historical document told through the eloquent eye of an artist. The richly designed hardcover book is a work of art in itself. More than sixty striking black-and-white duotone photographs and one lively essay tell the story of a midwestern town at the turn of the new century. In this book, you'll meet the kind of people you may have grown up with, or simply wish you had. 96 pages..
