Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. Suburbia was one of the most popular and successful American photobooks of the 1970s. Bill Owens photographed his neighborhood in a California town, letting the photographed characters do the talking. In fact, he reported in the form of captions the short sentences uttered by his subjects, who managed to express a lot in just a few words: ''We are very happy. Our children are healthy, we eat good food and we have a really welcoming home." Born as a personal project carried out while Owens was working for a local Californian newspaper and taking a course in visual anthropology, this photobook perfectly demonstrates that text and images work much better for sociological documentaries than images alone. ; 0.55 x 10.24 x 10.16 Inches; Signed by Author .
