An absolute "must-have" title for John Goodman collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed and inscribed in black pen-marker on the Souvenir Card that comes with it by the photographer: "Paul, Thank you for your help and the Meridien Printing connection. I am so glad this catalogue was produced. Certainly all your catalogues over the years have been an inspiration. Best, John". The recipient, Paul Berlanga, who is named, is the Chicago-based photography expert and important artist/painter. This title is now collectible. As far as we know, this is the only such signed and inscribed copy of the First Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare signed copy thus. Lavishly illustrated with tritone plates. One of the most brilliant American photographers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER JOHN GOODMAN TITLES IN OUR CATALOG).
