"The photographs in this book constitute a shocking and gripping portrait of contemporary America. Jim Goldberg's photographs of rich and poor people, with the subjects' own handwritten comments about themselves on the prints, give us an inside look at the American dream at both ends of the social scale. His pictures reveal his subjects' innermost fears and aspirations, their perceptions and illusions about themselves, with a frankness that makes the portraits as engrossing as they are disturbing." (Spalding Gray). Some of these pictures were exhibited at New York's Museum of Modern Art in 1984. Wraps lightly age-toned and rubbed. Interior in very good+ condition. Very good + condition.
