In excellent condition, practically like new.

"Yes, Paris will always be Paris and who better than the inimitable Elliot Erwitt to immortalize its spirit? With his unique eye for capturing reality, Erwitt sees beyond tourist clichés. This master of photography reveals just as well the power emanating from the monuments as the scenes of daily life. Alternating intimate details and wide views, Erwitt captures the very essence of this metropolis." (editor's note).
