SIGNED BY THE PHOTOGRAPHER CLARENCE JOHN LAUGHLIN at the limitaton AND INCLUDING THE PUBLISHER'S PRINTED SLIPCASE.

Folio, Laughlin's crisp, wonderful black-and-white portraits thruout. The slipcase, which no doubt accounts for the superior condition of the book, merits a VG only, with light wear to the edges, offsetting along the rear panel's lower-edge and light chipping at the spine ends.
