Description:
Hollywood (Heavy Industry Publications), 1969.. (6)pp., 112 plates. Sm. 4to. Wraps. Printed d.j. New fitted cloth clamshell case. First issue, with dust jacket printed on waxed freezer paper (meant to resemble the paper on a cracker box). “In...’Crackers,’ a series of photographs describe [an] absurd incident in which a male performer (Larry Bell) makes a salad on a hotel bed, and invites a woman to undress and recline on it. The protagonist then retires to his own hotel room to eat a box of crackers” (Lyons). “The book is caught between an excess and an economy of means which seems incidental. The beauty of the book is in its stable page after page of single full-sized images--the photos always fill the frame and are printed on an appropriately slippery coated stock” (Drucker).
