The edges of the pages of the book have yellowed, giving the impression of overall aging. There is no problem with the photos themselves. Please be aware that it is a used book that is over 30 years old. Due to the fact that I travel frequently, it may take up to a week from the time of payment until shipping. Thank you for your understanding. After shipping, it takes approximately 1-2 weeks for delivery to Europe. For this item, the shipping invoice will show a total of shipping costs and the product price minus 20 euros. This is because if the product were listed for 1 euro, for example, the seller or buyer might be suspected of tax evasion or the product might be considered inferior. Therefore, please be careful about the amount of customs duty and VAT you end up paying. - I left my job with Dentsu Inc. in 1972; I have forgotten which season. I had decided that I was not going to take any more commercial photographs so naturally, I did not have any work. However, I had nothing to do, or rather, I had decided to restart my career as a photographer, so I put a Pentax 6x7 with a 50mm lens and a tripod over my shoulder and headed out into the streets. It was the autumn of 1972. — excerpt from the artist's statement
